Pop-out and load any video element to a floating window.
Video Popout - Floating Video Player Extension
"Video Popout" is an extension that allows users to easily detach any active video in a tab and load it into a small, floating popup window. This floating window remains on top of other applications, allowing for seamless viewing even when switching tabs. The extension uses the latest JavaScript API for picture-in-picture functionality, ensuring compatibility with modern browsers. Note that the video must be played first for the pop-out feature to activate, and the popup will close if the original tab is closed.
