AutoPiP is a Safari extension that automatically enables Picture-in-Picture mode when switching tabs and disables it when returning to the video tab. No clicks needed - just seamless multitasking while watching videos.

Key features: • Automatic PiP activation when switching tabs • Smart detection for active videos only • Seamless disable on tab return • Zero configuration needed

Just thought you might know - Apple added a new feature in the latest MacOS update that does the same thing. It's called Video Viewer and you can turn it on when a video is playing by clicking the icon that looks like the rectangle with two lines under it.

Yours is seamless and you don't have to turn it on every time, though.
