Features & Capabilities

Windowed is a Chrome extension that transforms fullscreen buttons on popular websites into floating windows. This allows users to watch videos on platforms like YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, Vimeo, and more, while simultaneously working on other tasks without interrupting playback.

Unlike typical fullscreen modes, Windowed places the video inside its own adjustable window without reloading or altering playback controls. Upon clicking fullscreen, you can choose between classic fullscreen or a popup window, enhancing multitasking capabilities and productivity. It supports many popular video sites, but excludes flash videos and those using native HTML fullscreen controls.

Source and installation are available on GitHub and the Chrome Web Store, ensuring users easy access and transparency. Windowed is perfect for anyone who wants flexibility when watching videos while working, chatting, or browsing.

User Reviews

Users praise the add-on for Firefox and its floating video window across sites, but report reliability issues, lack of window resizing, login/site access problems, and requests for per-site controls and PiP support.

Pros

Generally works well on Firefox and is considered essential by long-time users.
Enables a floating video window across sites (e.g., YouTube, Hulu).
Valued by users who switched from Chrome; availability on Firefox is a key plus.

Cons

Inconsistent/finicky behavior on Firefox; functionality can depend on actions like fullscreen and varies by site (e.g., YouTube, Twitch).
Cannot maximize the popup window; the maximize option is greyed out.
Some sites experience login/access issues due to the addon; a per-site blocking option would help.
Sometimes works, sometimes not; reliability is an issue across pages.
Possible missing Picture-in-Picture (PiP) option on the Firefox version.
