I never used Chrome, so i don't know if it has a picture-in-picture player. But if it doesn't, you are really living in the past. It's so incredibly convenient.

p.s.: I googled, there is an extension that does the same for Chrome, but not natively.
- loloquwowndueo 3y agoDunno that I’d find much use in that. Either you’re watching the video (in which case you don’t want other crap distracting you) or you’re not (in which case you don’t want the video in a corner distracting you). Maybe I’m just from an older “I can only do one thing at a time lol” generation.
- wccrawford 3y agoI thought that feature was pointless when I first learned of it, but I've found myself using it from time to time. It often gets in the way of whatever else I'm doing, but it's generally pretty easy to work around. It's no substitute for a second monitor, but it's better than nothing sometimes.
- input_sh 3y agoI recently stumbled upon some content with a horrible JavaScript watermarking abomination slapped on top (https://www.vdocipher.com/ https://www.vdocipher.com/). They basically overlay the video player with random white strings that are just prominent enough to be annoying. One click of the picture-in-picture button and those watermarks were completely gone.
- efilife 3y agoI am pretty sure chrome supports PIP and I fiddled with it using JS but for some reason it's not on by default
- Timber-6539 3y agoYou don't need any extension to activate PiP in Chrome. It is a native feature just like it is on Firefox.
- kome 3y agoOther commenters suggest otherwise, perhaps it depends on the platform?
- Timber-6539 3y agoPiP works the same for me on both browsers. You would have to ask them what they are not doing correctly.
