What is Enhanced Floating Video Player (PIP)?

The 'Enhanced Floating Video Player (PIP)' is a Chrome extension that takes advantage of Chromium's Picture-In-Picture feature allowing videos to be watched on top of other desktop windows. This feature enhances multitasking, especially when watching tutorials, livestreams, movies while working on something else. The extension has direct integrations for YouTube, Netflix, and Twitch, with the future plan of including more sites. The application might not work properly with Chrome versions 70 or below.
