Picture-in-picture volume control and clickable icon
Chromium browsers used to have a volume control on the PiP window, and a progress bar. These have disappeared from many of them, except Vivaldi and Opera. Adding them to Edge would be a competitive a...
Kened-Ferreira That's a very interesting suggestion! I've never needed to have multiple p-in-p views simultaneously, but it would be a nice addition.
Opera was my main browser for years, until the company sold itself to a Chinese "consortium." I can't trust them under those circumstances, so I abandoned it for Vivaldi, which was where a lot of former Opera people went. They're doing great, but they don't have the coding resources of Microsoft.
I think Edge has the opportunity here to do something with a common feature no one else has matched.
I would like Edge to implement these features in the pip. But big companies like Microsoft tend to be more conservative.
Kened-Ferreira There's really no reason Microsoft should be "conservative." It can use its resources to build a feature that would be a real differentiator in the crowded market of Chromium-based browsers.
I have asked Vivaldi for this feature enhancement as well. It will be interesting to see who gets there first! 🙂

Many users have asked Vivaldi for this feature, but it seems that they have no interest in it. - "There's really no reason Microsoft should be "conservative." It can use its resources to build a feature that would be a real differentiator in the crowded market of Chromium-based browsers."
I would really like that to happen.- So would I, obviously. I think it responds to a real need. As YouTube and other video platforms host longer and longer programming, it becomes more important to be able to easily pop out the video and be able to control it while multi-tasking.
