About

Watch Netflix in Picture-in-Picture — even when the player turns it off.

Netflix marks its video with the standard "disablepictureinpicture" flag, which
removes the pop-out button from your browser's media controls. Netflix PiP
Unblocker detects that flag and lets you switch Picture-in-Picture back on with
a single click.

How it works
- The toolbar icon is the entire interface — no menus, no pop-ups.
- Grey icon: nothing to do on this page.
- Orange icon: a blocked video was detected.
- Click the orange icon and it turns green: the block has been lifted.
- Now use your browser's normal Picture-in-Picture control (the button in the
  media panel, or right-click the video) to pop the video out.

What it does — and doesn't do
- It runs only on netflix.com and only removes the Picture-in-Picture
  suppression flag on the video element. It reads no page text, media, cookies,
  or browsing history.
- It never starts Picture-in-Picture for you; you stay in control.
- It runs entirely on your device: no network requests, no account, no ads, and
  no data collection of any kind.
- If the page re-applies the block after you click, the extension removes it
  again automatically so PiP stays available.
