I had it on for a few days but it's inconvenient. I don't pause videos before switching tabs if they're not playing sounds, this feature would turn pip on for them. I wonder if anyone has it on and likes it.

It's a great start, but needs some tweaking. Which I'm hoping is possible; there are a lot of cases where it's exactly what I need, and a bunch of cases where I don't want it, but I'm not sure whether it's possible to reliably distinguish those two cases. (e.g. I don't need it for music videos on YouTube, but for NotJustBikes videos it's great.)

Two realistic things that it really needs (and that I'm sure will come) are:

  1. The ability to disable it for a single video (i.e. if it PiPs up, pop it back down without pausing the video), and
  2. Activate when the window loses focus/gets covered by another window.

tl;dr Sounds like a feature I would sometimes want.
