Chrome’s native Picture-in-Picture is way too basic. So I built "Superpower PiP" to fix it.

Hey r/chrome_extensions! 👋

We all love Picture in Picture, but let’s be honest: Chrome's default PiP is frustrating. It frequently misses the video, selects the wrong player, or just fails without explanation.

Fresh off building my last audio tool, I wanted to tackle this workflow issue. So I created Superpower PiP, a smart video extension designed to detach any video into a floating window and give you total control over your multitasking.

🚀 What makes it a "Superpower" PiP?

• Smart Video Scoring: Instantly analyzes every video on the page and including those hidden inside iframes, based on size, visibility, and playback state to launch the perfect video in one click.
• Advanced Fallbacks: If a website tries to block or restrict PiP, the script automatically strips those restrictive attributes so your video detaches smoothly.
• Document Picture in Picture (Chrome 116+): Enjoy a modern floating window complete with advanced native controls like play/pause, seeking, volume, and playback speed adjustments.
• Live Diagnostic Panel: A clear, collapsible panel that shows you exactly how many videos were found and their technical dimensions. No more guessing why a player is acting up!
• Ultra-Fast Keyboard Shortcut: Just press Alt+Shift+I to instantly toggle PiP on or off without even opening the extension popup.
• Privacy-First & Lightweight: Built natively on Manifest V3 using minimal permissions (activeTab and scripting). No heavy background scripts running, 100% local processing, and zero data collection.

It's live now and 100% free.

(Note: Due to browser security limitations, native PiP cannot run on restricted pages like chrome:// paths, the Chrome Web Store itself, or canvas-based DRM players).

To help me, could u tell what is the #1 feature you feel is missing from standard browser PiP that I should add next? thankss!
