Built a PiP extension because none of them had floating captions

I watch podcasts while working with 50+ tabs open. Chrome's PiP is just a floating rectangle with zero controls. Other extensions add controls but nobody built the one thing I wanted - just the subtitles floating on my screen while I work.

So I built PiP Cue. One extension, three modes:

Full floating player with controls, captions, speed, and A-B loop
Basic PiP that works on any website
Captions only - just the words, no video taking up space

Also added a save button that bookmarks videos with their exact timestamp. Syncs across browsers automatically. 20 free saves.

Works on YouTube and any site with video. Free.

First thing I've actually shipped. Would love to know what you'd add to it.
