Abel Perez (ID: 0000001a43241bd4) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/30/2023 Absolutely does not work at all. It's nice that it works for some; however, it does not even explain how to troubleshoot any issues that I'm sure they are well aware of. I am using chrome browser on a desktop computer with windows 10 so that others don't waste their time by trying this worthless extension.

Arianna Ferrar (ID: 000000bb54632b6b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/26/2022 Works great! Just make sure you have the normal Picture In Picture extension. This just makes it work for Hulu. Don't click this extension just use the regular PIP as you would with youtube and Netflix. If it doesn't work, just reload the tab.
