don't allow pages to disable PiP without a user gesture #178

I strongly believe that it should be up to users to use PiP if they want to. Making it easy is one thing, blocking it altogether is another. When users install extensions like Google's PiP, they expect it to always work. This may just be an issue of the Google's PiP extension for Chrome though. I can't think of any use cases for websites being able to disable PiP without a user gesture. Maybe that's already not possible and perhaps some pages just exit PiP when they know that a video has entered PiP mode. Please correct me.

We believe it should be up to the website to decide if a Picture-in-Picture mode is desirable. For this, the spec has added the disablePictureInPicture HTMLVideoElement attribute and the picture-in-picture feature policy.

It looks like your issue comes from an extension POV. Let's discuss at https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/picture-in-picture-chrome-extension/issues/49
