Super PiP works better. It has playback controls so you can forward/rewind, adjust the volume, change playback speed, etc. It also has subtitles for websites like Youtube.

Only floating video player extension that crosses my Mac's spaces, full screen games, and remote desktops. I haven't found a place it can't show the video player. It's also a breeze to use. Amazing extension.
