User reviews

Users appreciate Popout Video Player for its full video controls, ease of use, and usefulness across platforms like YouTube, aiding multitasking and tutorials. However, many highlight missing features such as an 'always on top' option, window position/size memory, and appropriate aspect ratios. Some users also express privacy concerns due to browsing history access. Overall, it's a simple, functional extension with room for enhancements in customization and persistent window management.

Pros

Retains full video control functions like speed adjustment, rewind, forward, and volume control while in popout mode.
Supports use on multiple video platforms such as YouTube, with good functionality.
Minimal and appropriate permissions requested, promoting security and privacy.
Simple, functional, and easy to use, allowing multitasking while watching videos.
Popout window enhances user experience especially for tutorials and side-by-side viewing on larger screens.

Cons

Lacks an 'always on top' or 'stay on top' feature, which is a common and frequently requested functionality.
Does not remember or save the position and size of the popout window between sessions.
Popout window sometimes does not maintain proper video aspect ratio (e.g., 16:9 HD proportions).
Permissions request for browsing history raises privacy concerns among some users.
Lacks customization options such as enabling/disabling window borders or controlling stay on top behavior.

This looks great: first PiP extention that doesn't get darker when you mouse hover it. It's great on YouTube, but I'd like it to work also on other sites such as Udemy. Can you do that, please? Thanks.

An excellent video popout extention. I love the fact that it retains the video control functions, as I mostly watch videos at a higher speed, and you can do this on the fly. Also, you can rewind, move forward, and increase or decrease the volume. All other similar extentions only enable pausing and resuming. Also, it even retains the functionality of some other youtube video-related extensions such as uPop. Awsome!

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.

Popout Video Player requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
