Ask HN: Why doesn't Firefox capitalize on picture-in-picture mode?

This mode lets you pop out a video from a web page into a small, movable window that stays on top of everything else. So why does mozilla focus their ads on privacy side instead of this killer feature?

Chrome can't do that? I don't have it installed (I'm a Firefox user as well), but Safari certainly can also do it. So it's not exactly a unique feature.

Chrome's version is experimental I think, started seeing it this week and it is kinda bad, try to use it yourself and compare to firefox.
