It's okay. It works as intended but I have one problem. I'm using a ChromeBook with this extension so this might only be a problem for this device. When in PiP mode, the video window only lets me play it at the bottom. I'm unable to move it to the top of my screen or anywhere else. And I'm only able to move it around if I set the video window to a certain size. And at the size it allows me to move it, It's way to big to see the work that I'm doing. It's annoying, to say the least.

Better than other PiP extensions, I dont want to flick my cursor on top of the screen just to click on the PiP extension like other ones. This one shows the button on the Youtube video frame, good for people who keeps forgetting about their PiP extension.
