I completely agree - I use i3 and was interested to see that this just pops up a floating window over all of my others.
When reading the feature my thought was that it would be a floating window _within_ the browser window - which I think I would have preferred.
- kevincox 6y agoI disagree with that. The browser already does too much "window management" already. I like that it pops out a separate window that I can do with what I please rather than being limited to whatever window management functionality they decide to add to their internal "window".
- hobos_delight 6y agoPossibly - but in my case the windows was just floating on top of all of my other windows, and whilst I could move and resize it, I could not move it like other windows. So popping out a new firefox window that operates like a normal window would be great, but the current solution seems like the worst of both worlds. Also on an unrelated note, seeing your username we used to work together - hope all is going well :)
- kevincox 6y agoAh, that is weird. The window behaved fairly normally for me. (I'm on Linux Wayland)
- Izkata 6y agoDo you happen to use sway? (Or maybe just Wayland in general does it..) I'm using a tiled window manager on X and was rather confused by other comments here, before realizing my window manager must be giving me unintended control over the video popup. I just get a floating window that's fully draggable and resizable identically to other windows.
- kevincox 6y agoI'm using Gnome actually. I have found that Wayland tends to keep some apps in check so maybe the less options that Wayland provides to clients is helping me here.
