Opera‘s Video Pop Out feature is very useful for multitaskers, allows to watch a playing video on any tab in any position, all you need to is click on the video pop out button on the original video to see it in action, unfortunately this is Opera-only feature, not available to Chrome, you can still get that sort of experience, not perfect as Opera’s though – it is much better and Opera software is continually improving it – by installing Picture in Picture Viewer extension in Chrome browser.
