Enable PiP Mode Extension

Enable PiP Mode is a lightweight extension designed to restore Picture-in-Picture (PiP) functionality on websites that have forcefully disabled it. This extension modifies the underlying code to re-enable PiP, allowing you to use PiP on sites where it's been blocked.

Important Note:
This extension does not include a built-in pop-out player. To watch videos in PiP mode on browsers like Google Chrome, you'll need to install a separate extension that provides this feature.

Key Features:

Restores PiP Functionality: Bypass the disablepictureinpicture attribute on websites, giving you back control of your viewing experience.
Simple and Focused: This extension does one thing—re-enabling PiP mode in the JavaScript code—and does it efficiently.
Complementary Tool: Pair this extension with a dedicated PiP player extension for full functionality on browsers like Google Chrome.

Download Enable PiP Mode today and take back the PiP capability on your favorite sites.

Tested in Chrome and Opera
