Have you tried arcs? I find it really useful as well.

Safari is second and almost just as bad as Chrome's but it comes bundled so no extension required.

Chrome's PIP is probably the worst experience of them all.

It's not built into Chrome so you need to download an (official) extension just to use it.

It's also missing all the typically player controls like a progress bar, volume, and fast forward/rewind.

It also has it's close action placement on the right side which makes sense for Windows, but macOS places close actions on the left.

I can't believe the Chrome browser has an inferior display for a tool with wider usage.

Firefox is the clear winner. It's bundled with the browser and has all the controls available that you would expect from a video player.

I use picture-in-picture (PIP) a bunch to watch a video while doing something else on my computer.

🧵Here's a quick comparison between PIP players in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari to air out my gripes:
