Release v1.1 – Improvements

This release replaces YouTube's native miniplayer with Chrome's built-in Picture-in-Picture mode, enabling you to watch videos in a separate, resizable floating window while you browse other tabs or applications.

Key Features

  • Native Picture-in-Picture Integration: Overrides YouTube's miniplayer button to activate Chrome’s Picture-in-Picture mode, providing a seamless and familiar viewing experience.
  • Dynamic Button Interception: Utilizes a content script to detect and replace the native miniplayer functionality on YouTube watch pages.
  • Minimalistic Design: Delivers a clean, efficient solution that leverages native browser capabilities without additional clutter.
  • Easy Installation: Load the extension locally through Chrome’s extension manager and start enjoying enhanced video playback immediately. (Step-by-step guide in readme)

Updates

  • Injection: Injection is now run based on SWA timing from YouTube and is done automatically rather than requiring the extension to be clicked before the Miniplayer was replaced.
  • Keybinding: When the 'I' key is pressed the miniplayer will also activate in accordance with YouTube's default keybinds.
