Vivaldi Browser 2.1 now features Picture-in-Picture (PiP)

The team behind the innovative Vivaldi browser released a new snapshot of the upcoming version of the app. Vivaldi 2.1.1332.4 brings a few new features, a new Picture-in-Picture mode, along with the ability to create notes from Quick Commands.

Picture-in-Picture mode allows opening videos that play in the web browser in a small overlay window which can be managed separately from the browser's window.

In Vivaldi, you can right-click on a video and select Picture-in-picture from the context menu. For certain sites like Youtube, this is not yet possible via the their custom context menu (though double right clicking works around that).

With this new build, you can create quick notes directly from Quick Commands.
