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 modifies fullscreen buttons to open content in floating popup windows instead of the typical fullscreen mode. Compatible with a wide range of websites including YouTube, Netflix, Vimeo, Twitch, Facebook, and others, it enables users to watch videos or shows in resizable windows. This lets you continue browsing or multitask, such as researching while viewing a video without reloading content or losing controls. Upon clicking fullscreen, a menu lets you choose between traditional fullscreen or windowed mode for maximum flexibility.

Easy to use and designed to enhance productivity and entertainment simultaneously, Windowed supports embedded videos and popular streaming services to keep you connected on your terms. Although it doesn't work with Flash or sites using native HTML fullscreen controls, it covers most modern video platforms. The source code is openly available on GitHub for transparency and contributions.
