User Reviews
Pros
- Provides picture-in-picture functionality that works well for many users (some report flawless use, including YouTube).
- Useful for multitasking — users report watching videos on a second monitor or while doing other tasks.
- Convenient PiP access on video sites (helpful where native PiP/right-click PiP is limited).
Cons
- Requires a separate desktop app to be installed and running — many users complain about this requirement.
- Inconsistent YouTube support — multiple users report it does not work on YouTube, while others say it does.
- Unreliable behavior for some users — several reviews say it’s not working or has intermittent problems.

Forces you to download third party app. What the fuck even is going on here?
by Ja*****, 2025-10-08
You need to install a separate desktop app AND it requires a premium subscription to open any video directly in PiP, without the app opening every time (as well as for other features). Really terrible user-experience.

Is Easy Youtube Player - Picture in Picture Safe?
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.
Easy Youtube Player - Picture in Picture requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
