Is Picture in Picture safe?

Question

Accepted Answer

Picture in Picture is critical risk. Every time you navigate to a page, the Picture in Picture extension sends the origin and path of that URL to backend.pictureinpic.com. This was confirmed by capturing live network traffic: five separate POST requests were observed, each containing the URL of the page just visited. The extension's stated purpose is enabling picture-in-picture video mode — there is no reason consistent with that purpose to transmit every URL you visit to a remote server.
