Open Popout Player Automatically
Request a new feature/setting to automatically open the Popout Player when navigating to a YouTube video page.
Items to consider:
- [ ] Should this only apply to dedicated video pages on YouTube, or should it also include any page with am embedded video? Should it be a configurable setting (or sub-setting)?
- If enabled/allowed for any page with an embedded video, a page with multiple embedded videos could result in a Popout being opened for each video
- [ ] Should it respect the "Close Original Window/Tab" setting? Or should it have its own setting/sub-setting (sort of like there are dedicated shortcut keys now that override/ignore the "Close Original Window/Tab" setting)?
Possible issues:
- Browsers might block the window from opening if it is initiated by the content script, as it won't occur as a result of a user action/event. The alternative approach would be to use a listener in the background script (
tabs.onUpdated()) instead of doing it in the content script, but that might not capture navigating between pages within YouTube (since they aren't true page turns).
