Description

View any element (or the whole page) Picture-In-Picture. Not only videos or images, it works on any element. Hold SHIFT to add the highligthed element to the PIP Window, or press ESC (or right-click) to quit the picker. Use Q/A keys to expand/reduce the highligthed selection, then press SPACE to add it to the PIP Window. You can also use Alt+P to activate the picker (or configure an alternate shortcut key in the extension settings). TIP: Fine-tuning your selection using Q/A keys, and choosing a VIDEO element will ensure that the target video will be opened as PIP. I'm using this all the time to isolate html elements (especially images ;), and to trigger Picture-In-Picture for videos on sites that don't expose the feature. **NOTE**: Although the extension tries to keep the elements stylized as in the original page, the underlying technology ([DocumentPictureInPicture](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/document-picture-in-picture)) cannot ensure the same styles are applied consistently (either because the DOM layout is different in the PIP Window vs the original page - so CSS doesn't work in the intended way - or JS is used to style the page). Also note that DocumentPictureInPicture doesn't allow navigation, so clicking on links in the PIP Window will close it and restore elements to the original page.
