** Note: the recent update doesn't really read your browsing history. That permission is required to support the enable/disable feature when you click on the app icon on the top right corner. You can verify that I do not read any of your browsing history at https://github.com/jianweichuah/miniyoutube. Also, if you feel like that feature is not necessary, I'd be happy to hear about it.**

Features:
- Automatically switch the video to small screen when the video player is out of screen and restore it when you scroll up again.
- Draggable screen to allow you to choose where to place it.
- Resizable screen to let you pick the perfect size.
- Remembers the the size and position of the screen where you left off for the next videos.
- No extra steps required!

北極熊(北極熊) (ID: 000000b45662c8dd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/09/2022 為何此擴充套件要設定年齡限制?以至於在沒有登入GOOGLE之前,搜尋不要此擴充功能。 Why does this extension require an age restriction? As a result, this extension will not appear in the search until you log in to GOOGLE.

Amandine Duhammel (ID: 000000a33f73d576) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/26/2022 I love this extension but i have some troubles since a few weeks, it won't work :(

Aziz P. Brimah (ID: 00000032237a5456) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/10/2022 I like this extension because it allows me to scroll down and read comments as I keep watching a video. It can often get buggy though, sometimes not properly reverting back to a normal video when you scroll back up to the top. I also wish there was a way to skip ads when watching in its video player. All in all, this mini video player is a convenience that I appreciate and use almost daily.

Matt Thomlinson (ID: 0000005cac83d39e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/06/2022 This was a great extension until a week ago. It now regularly puts a black mini screen on my youtube page when I'm not actually playing a video. Most annoying.
