BetterPiP (Picture-in-Picture) Extension

Beschreibung 📝.
BetterPiP ist eine Chrome-Erweiterung, die die Picture-in-Picture-Funktionalität für Videoelemente auf jeder Website ermöglicht, selbst wenn die Funktion ursprünglich durch das Videoelement eingeschränkt ist.

Warum BetterPiP verwenden? 🤷‍♀️
Die Google-eigene Picture-in-Picture-Erweiterung funktioniert zwar gut, erfordert aber die manuelle Deaktivierung des Google Analytics-Trackings und unterstützt einige Videoplayer nicht. BetterPiP ist eine Alternative ohne Tracking, die universeller einsetzbar ist.

Wie verwende ich BetterPiP 🤔
Klicken Sie auf das Erweiterungssymbol, um BetterPiP zu aktivieren. Die Erweiterung wird alle Videoelemente auf der aktuellen Webseite analysieren und Picture-in-Picture für das größte verfügbare Video aktivieren. 🖥️ ➡️ 🔲
