На рутуб изменение скорости и качество видео - эти функции не работают. На других платформах не проверял.

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!
