The PIP video is independent of the browser window that contained the video -- it can be moved around the desktop and resized with no window decorations and also stays on top of all other windows in the desktop env.
- swiley 6y agoIf you don’t like window decorations (and I don’t blame you) just run a wm with no window decorations (like cwm.)
- notatoad 6y agothere's a lot of firefox users that don't want to switch to a new window manager (or operating system) just for the sake of being able to pop a video out of the window it came from.
- fulafel 6y agoThis makes sense on one hand, but could also be used to justify all kinds of of non browser features that would make both WMs and FF worse off in the long run.
- asdff 6y agoIt is still pretty dependent on that browser tab. Accidentally close that tab, there goes your video. You also lose controls like scrubbing, and can only PiP one video at a time.
- fulafel 6y agoBut can't be used for other apps like video players or videoconferencing apps.
- adrianmonk 6y agoIn this case, I think "limited to" means available with, not rendered inside of.
