Note: The Beta feature "Remember Floating Player Position" was unavailable on some systems in version 1.0.7. Affected users are recommended to update to this version. This feature is still being continuously improved.

1. Improved PiP behavior on multiple displays to avoid unnecessary activation, with more control over when PiP starts.
2. Added support for Italian, Korean, and Dutch.
3. Fixed a minor styling issue and removed some redundant code.
4. Updated the default appearance of the in-page floating player for a cleaner look (manual customizations are not affected).

1.0.6

In this update:

1. Added Automatic Picture-in-Picture (PiP) for YouTube videos (default off)
   • Automatically enables the system’s native PiP mode when playing YouTube videos
   • Videos continue playing in a floating window for a smoother experience, similar to PiP in modern browsers like Arc
   • To confirm the current video, you need to interact with the YouTube page (e.g. click or play) after opening it before this feature takes effect
2. Fixed an issue where subtitles could flicker when adjusting playback using the trackpad
3. Improved app interface and descriptions for a more intuitive experience

1. You can now hide the floating player border for a cleaner look.
2. Added trackpad pinch gesture to zoom the floating player with two fingers.
3. Improved some interface styles.
4. Fixed a bug where the PiP button disappeared when closing the floating player.

1.0.4

This update fixes an issue where subtitles could not be loaded on a browser cold start.

1.0.3

In This Update:

1. Fixed minor bugs and refined UI details.
2. Added an entry point for Picture-in-Picture (PiP): A new icon will appear in the bottom-right controls of the YouTube player. Clicking it lets you toggle Picture-in-Picture. You can also choose to hide this icon in the settings page.

Tips:

1. If YouTube subtitles are enabled, they will also appear in Picture-in-Picture. Changing the subtitle language on YouTube will automatically update the subtitles shown in PiP.
2. After updating, any already-open YouTube tabs need to be refreshed so the extension can correctly detect the subtitles.

1.0.2

Improved device compatibility and video aspect-ratio detection logic.
