They do? As in, paying will expose a control on their player to enter PiP in supported platforms?

Note: other than FF, you can also trigger PiP (edit: on Safari) on a YouTube video by double-right-clicking on the video element OR long pressing on the speaker icon on the tab/address bar.

YouTube app on Android supported this some time ago. If you were playing a video and then wanted to go to some other app, a small floating window appeared with that video playing.

It was then locked away behind YouTube Premium, and now YouTube (non-premium) occasionally bugs you to pay for the premium when you try switching to another app so that you can continue playback.

I've been using pipifier for this - especially for Netflix, didn't know about this until now - thanks

Neither of these worked for me. Chrome 83 on Win 10.

Oops - sorry! I forgot to include the important bit about Safari on macOS. Updated my comment.
