Restore YouTube's Missing Mini Player Button - Get Picture-in-Picture Back!

YouTube recently removed the mini player button from video controls, making it harder to access picture-in-picture mode. This lightweight extension brings it back exactly where it belongs!

🎯 What It Does: • Automatically adds the mini player button back to YouTube's video controls • Places the button between settings and theater mode (just like before) • Seamlessly integrates with YouTube's design - looks completely native • Works instantly on all YouTube videos without any setup

⚡ Key Features: • One-click mini player - Click the button or press 'i' to activate • Perfect positioning - Sits naturally between existing YouTube controls • Auto-updates - Works across all YouTube page navigation • Lightweight - Zero impact on YouTube's performance • Privacy-focused - No data collection, works entirely offline

🚀 How It Works:

  1. Install the extension
  2. Go to any YouTube video
  3. Look for the mini player button in the control bar
  4. Click it (or press 'i') to open picture-in-picture mode

The extension uses YouTube's existing mini player functionality - it simply restores the missing button interface that many users relied on.

✨ Why Choose This Extension: • Restores YouTube's original functionality • Clean, professional integration • No ads, no tracking, no data collection • Open source and community-driven • Regular updates to maintain compatibility

🔧 Technical Details: • Works with all YouTube themes (dark/light mode) • Compatible with YouTube Premium • Supports all video qualities and formats • Responsive design for different screen sizes
