I had it on for a few days but it's inconvenient. I don't pause videos before switching tabs if they're not playing sounds, this feature would turn pip on for them. I wonder if anyone has it on and likes it.
Sounds like a feature I would always want

It's a great start, but needs some tweaking. Which I'm hoping is possible; there are a lot of cases where it's exactly what I need, and a bunch of cases where I don't want it, but I'm not sure whether it's possible to reliably distinguish those two cases. (e.g. I don't need it for music videos on YouTube, but for NotJustBikes videos it's great.)
Two realistic things that it really needs (and that I'm sure will come) are:
- The ability to disable it for a single video (i.e. if it PiPs up, pop it back down without pausing the video), and
- Activate when the window loses focus/gets covered by another window.
tl;dr Sounds like a feature I would sometimes want.
Sounds like a feature I would never want.
As long as I can disable it. Not all videos need to be seen all the time and I don't have a problem clicking a button when I want PiP. Most 'smart' features like this save 1 click here but require 5 more clicks to bypass the new behaviour.
That's the biggest feature from Arc Browser that I've been missing, after switching back to Firefox
I know of a web conferencing software which has one video per shared camera and a shared screen video. How many automatic pop-out pip windows will I get?
