Windowed is a versatile Chrome extension that transforms fullscreen video buttons into resizable floating popups for any website using fullscreen, including YouTube, Netflix, Vimeo, Twitch, and more. Instead of traditional fullscreen mode, it encloses videos or apps in an adjustable window, making multitasking seamless—watch videos while working or chatting without interrupting playback or reloading content.

The extension offers a small menu upon clicking fullscreen, letting users choose between classic fullscreen or windowed mode. It supports many major streaming platforms and websites, enhancing user experience without sacrificing native controls or performance. While it doesn't support Flash or videos with native HTML controls, Windowed remains a practical tool for multitaskers wanting floating video windows across the web. Source code is openly available on GitHub, reflecting its transparent and community-friendly development.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Windowed - floating Youtube/every website requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
