## Description

YubePiP is a Chrome extension that brings YouTube into Picture-in-Picture mode, enabling floating playback and background audio even when your screen is locked. You can open up to three YouTube web app instances and browse videos independently for true multitasking.

Highlights include dual-video playback (one fullscreen, one PiP), a powerful PiP toolkit, and a Pro option with a YouTube ad blocker—designed for uninterrupted viewing and productivity.

## Review summary

Users praise PiP and the Pro ad-free upgrade, noting a better YouTube experience than the official app. However, many reviews cite intrusive ads, frequent crashes and playback problems, YouTube/Google sign-in issues, and billing concerns (charges/cancellation). Platform inconsistencies (e.g., iPad ads) add to frustration. Overall, the app offers strong PiP value, but reliability and billing behavior drive most negative feedback.

### Pros

- PiP (Picture-in-Picture) works well on iPhone, especially with the Pro version.
- One-time Pro upgrade provides an ad-free experience at a low price.
- Improves the YouTube experience compared to the official YouTube app.
- Background playback workaround allows listening while using other apps or with the screen off.

### Cons

- Ads are intrusive and frequent, with disruptions like two ads in a row and inconsistent ad presence across devices.
- Stability and playback reliability issues: crashes, playback stops after a song, black screens, and other background playback problems.
- Sign-in and YouTube/Google login limitations: the app can be hard to sign in or treated as a non-supported browser.
- Billing and subscription concerns: unexpected charges, difficulty cancelling, and fear of being charged after trying the app.
