can you do Picture in Picture in high Sierra from safari browser even if the video in safari doesn t support it ?? hope you understand what i ask ?
PiP needs to be implemented natively by the website devs themselves, so some have it, some don't.can you do Picture in Picture in high Sierra from safari browser even if the video in safari doesn t support it ?? hope you understand what i ask ?
It isn't "completely unnecessary" to install Safari extensions from the Mac App Store. Unless there is a compelling reason why I wouldn't have a user install Safari extensions through Apple's channels, I always check there first. Additionally, the extension works perfectly fine for me on my iMac 5k.I recommend NOT using the app ryxn mentioned above, or any other method that involves an app. It's completely unnecessary to have a separate app injecting code into Safari. This can be done with a simple extension for Safari.
Tip: The Mac App Store is the safest and easiest way to discover and install extensions. The extensions are reviewed by Apple, and they update automatically when “Install app updates” is selected in App Store preferences. The extensions on safari-extensions.apple.com (the Safari Extensions Gallery) are also reviewed by Apple.
Go back and read my post. I didn't say it's unnecessary to install Safari extensions from the Mac App Store. I said it's unnecessary to install APPS to inject code into Safari that can be accomplished by a simple Safari extension.It isn't "completely unnecessary" to install Safari extensions from the Mac App Store.

Well, PiPTool and other extensions like it are basically a hack. And they aren't perfect. Apple tries to inject that PiP button into the interface of the site's native video controls. While that makes sense for many reasons, it's extremely difficult to do when there are literally thousands of video types out there.I never even thought about trying an extension to enable more sites, I just assumed it didn't work on most sites other than Vimeo and Youtube. Why can't apple just do this? Odd.
While I'm not a developer, I do see the benefits of downloading an app from the Mac App Store or the Safari Extensions Gallery over posting a download link. Security is the first thing that comes to mind, as well convenience and availability to users who wouldn't otherwise look in places like GitHub. Yes, this particular app simply injects code and installs an extension through the app, but after reading through the documentation and videos Apple has explaining how Safari Apps work, I'm convinced that my previous point has merit. I'm not going to bicker with you over whether it's unnecessary or not, but from a usability standpoint, finding and downloading an app from Apple's official channels, like I said before, is much better for the average user than a simple download link.Go back and read my post.

The link you provided is for an APP that then turns around and installs an extension or otherwise injects the code as an extension. Either way, it's unnecessary.
