You use JavaScript for YouTube ad blocking for iOS Safari. Could you please also add Picture in Picture restriction bypass at the same command?

Could you give us more information on the option you suggest? Please describe the situation in which you think it might be needed.

@Eugene-Savenko Any news?

@anastenko I would also be glad of such an opportunity and here's why. In the web version, YT always blocks PIP mode, even if I have a YouTube Premium subscription. Therefore, for those using the web version of YT, it would be nice to be able to view in PIP mode, which is in the app.

Though I share the pain, I think it’s a bit out of the scope of a “content blocker” like AdGuard.

You guys can try this app, which adds two actions into the menu to trigger native PiP and full screen on YouTube and other sites.

As @wzxu said, there are several other apps that do this. Check out this one too. https://github.com/arnoappenzeller/PiPifier
