Until then, we are stuck with two modes for just slightly different situations
EXTENSION TO OPEN FIREFOX FULL SCREEN WINDOWS
Still, there are many websites that do put something else (not a video) in fullscreen, which picture-in-picture does not support.Įither picture-in-picture needs to work for arbitrary elements, which would be really awesome, or chrome extensions should be able to make floating-on-top windows (they used to). For youtube, that doesn't really stack up against the floating-on-top feature for me. This is amazing in most cases, butttttt here is one big disadvantage, the only reason I'm still working on this extension even, is that it only works on videos, and only without any website specific controls. Will put the video into native Picture-in-Picture mode, with only browser controls. This only shows up if a video element is found.
So it will fill the full window that as it is right now. Floating also, is exclusive to reloadĭoes the same as Windowed, but doesn't pop the window out. Other extensions do put videos in title-bar-less windows, but that requires a reload of the page, and I really really really don't like that. I can't get rid of the title bar because of restrictions in Chrome extensions. Puts video in a seperate window with title bar. Obviously my favourite, hence the namesake of this extension. Important for me is that the video/page does not reload when switching to Windowed.Įven though I want to create a very minimalist extension, I still provide some choice every time you want to go into fullscreen. It injects itself into every page, and replaces (or the browser specific version) with a popup to get into Windowed, In-window or picture in picture mode. A small extension for chrome and firefox I made because I don't really like normal fullscreen.
