Windowed - floating Youtube/every website

Changes fullscreen buttons to go into a popup. Works for every website that uses fullscreen, including Youtube, Vimeo, Netflix

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.
