Is Picture in Picture | PiP | Floating Player for Youtube safe?
Picture in Picture YouTube contacts picturepip.com on install or update and opens a server-controlled URL in a new tab.
The extension enables Picture-in-Picture playback for YouTube videos via a toolbar button and keyboard shortcut. On each install or update event, it POSTs the install reason and extension version to picturepip.com/update_notes. If the server returns a JSON response containing an https:// URL, the extension opens that URL in a new tab without further user confirmation.
