Improvements on features that are in Insider channels
You suggest that PiP should be added to the right click menu but then you mention that some sites don't allow right clicking on them. that's 2 contradicting statements!
No actually what I meant there is that some sites don't allow right click on the media, but they do on the other areas of the site. Take for example: YouTube allows right click on video where you can switch to PiP, mixer also allows, but Facebook doesn't allows on the video. It allows on other areas of the site however.

Thanks, could you also explain what problem you are having with the current settings?
the way I see it, each website developer, based on their own insights, chooses a proper way for users to interact with theirs websites. some websites choose to put the PiP option on the right-click menu on the video and some others choose to put it on other areas of the page. this gives website developers flexibility. I think if there is a problem in a specific site design then it's the site developer's job to fix it and provide users better accessibility.
