## Description

YouTube Miniplayer enhances your browsing experience by opening YouTube links in a floating, draggable miniplayer whenever you click them on non-YouTube websites. This allows you to watch videos while continuing to browse the current page without switching tabs. The miniplayer stays on top, is easy to move around the screen, and does not load if you are already on YouTube. Ideal for multitasking, background viewing, or quick previews.
