Any site,
floating on top.
Paste a link. Pip opens it in a small window that stays above everything else on your screen. Good for a stream, a dashboard, a timer, or a chat you want to keep an eye on.
This browser can't open always-on-top windows from a web page. Pip needs desktop Chrome, Edge, Brave or another Chromium browser (version 116 or newer). You can still open the site in a normal small popup, it just won't stay on top.

How it works
-
Paste an address
Any page works as a starting point. For YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch and Spotify links Pip swaps in the bare player so the video fills the window.
-
Pop it out
Your browser opens a real always-on-top window. Drag it anywhere, resize it, put it on another monitor.
-
Leave this tab open
The floating window belongs to this tab. Minimise the browser if you like, but if you close the tab the window goes with it.
Some sites say no. The helper fixes that.
Plenty of sites send a header telling browsers not to show them inside another page. Google, X, GitHub and most banks do it. Pip checks for this before it opens the window and tells you.
The helper is a tiny Chrome extension that removes those headers, and only for windows Pip opens. Your normal tabs are untouched. It also adds a toolbar button that floats whatever tab you're on.
Helper not detected
- Unzip the download somewhere you'll keep it.
- Open
chrome://extensionsand switch on Developer mode. - Click "Load unpacked" and pick the unzipped folder.
- Reload this page.
What it can't do
- Desktop Chromium only. Firefox and Safari don't have the always-on-top window API yet, and no phone browser does.
- One floating window at a time. That's a browser rule. Opening a second site replaces the first.
- Logins can be flaky. The site runs as embedded content, so browsers that block third-party cookies may not keep you signed in inside the window.
- No address bar in the window. The browser draws its own title strip. Pip adds a slim bar with the address and a reload button, and you can tuck it away.
