Picture in Picture Button Extension

This extension adds a universal Picture in Picture button and keyboard shortcut to Chrome, powered by the Picture in Picture Web API introduced by Google in 2018.

Features:
- keyboard shortcut
- PiP element automatically closes on fullscreen
- works on any webpage with a video element*

The keyboard shortcut is Alt + P (⌥ + P on macOS) by default, just like in the original Picture in Picture extension by Google. You can change it to your liking or disable it altogether by going to chrome://extensions/shortcuts. You can also toggle Picture in Picture by clicking on the extension icon.

*Limitations:
- doesn't work on extension pages such as Alternative Player for Twitch.tv
- doesn't work on video elements in inline frames such as VRV

It the extension doesn't seem to work as intended, feel free to start an issue at the GitHub below.
