YouTube Popout Player Extension

Overview

This extension provides a simple way to open any YouTube video (including videos embedded in other sites/pages) in a \"popout\" window which you can freely position and resize.

Usage

When viewing any YouTube video, whether directly YouTube, or embedded on any other website, you can either:
- Right-click on the video and click the \"Popout Player\" option (at the bottom of the menu that is displayed)
- Click the popout player icon (a square with a smaller square coming out of the top right corner), which can be found in the lower right corner of the video (by the settings and fullscreen icons)
- Use the keyboard shortcuts (default CTRL + Up Arrow )
- Right-click on any link/thumbnail to a YouTube video or playlist, and use the \"Open Video in Popout Player\" or \"Open Playlist in Popout Player\" menu options. This works on any website as long as the link goes to YouTube.

Ådne Carlsen (ID: 000000249b0d11d6) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/01/2023 Does what it ways, but it lacks the option to make the pop-out window stay on top of other windows, which I presume is the reason most people would use this extension...

Lily Ren (ID: 00000023cce3976a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/15/2023 actually the best one of these i ever used

Jānis Ķengurs (ID: 000000e718e12f9b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/16/2023 I used it some time before, it this it was picture in picture, now its popup and not in picture but in background when i change tabs.

Martijn Hopman (ID: 000000f8cc7085dc) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/15/2023 Does what it says it does. Opens a popout window with only the video in it (please note it's a typical 'pop-out window' with only a title bar, no address bar or other browser functions and buttons).
