So what's the best alternative now?
Openrouter + cline or something else?

I posted the first version of AutoPiP here in November 2024.
Since then I've kept chipping away at it, and v2 is finally ready.
The premise: I wanted truly automatic PiP for multitasking — switch a tab, video keeps playing in a floating window, no clicking required. Safari is the only browser that allows triggering PiP without a user gesture, which is what makes this possible at all.
v2 adds:
- Global on/off toggle in the toolbar (no need to uninstall to pause it)
- Configurable keyboard shortcut (default ⌥P) to manually trigger PiP
- Blacklist / Whitelist mode to control which sites it activates on
Works on YouTube (including PiP on scroll), Netflix, Twitch, Disney+, MAX, Paramount+, Jellyfin and most generic HTML5 players.
GitHub: https://github.com/vordenken/AutoPiP
Free, GPL-3.0, no telemetry.
Happy to answer questions about the Safari extension API quirks I ran into.

I don't know why it's different for you and me then. I tested Qwant once again and saw not one call to duckduckgo (my default search engine) - now I'm over 100 searches while analysing with proxyman without one leak.
The kagi extension on the other hand leaked all my first 3 searches.
Something must be different.

I quickly downloaded the kagi extension for testing and there I can see the leaking - the Qwant extension still does not leak. Maybe you could also test the Qwant extension?

I don't know your setup but in my opinion something like proxyman / mitmproxy or even Wireshark would be the better way to analyse this.
I tested quite often and never saw the leak with Qwant.

Interesting, something must have changed then - the qwant search extension definitely does not leak the search to the default search engine - I checked myself with Proxyman.

Depends on how the extension works probably. Had the issue with some extension but the Qwant extension for example doesn't leak - you can check yourself when capturing the http(s) traffic with something like proxyman.

Cool idea, wanted to try it out but it's not available in my country. Any reason for this? :)

BambuConnect is not part of BambuStudio - That's intentional, so BambuLab does not need to share/open-source it.
The current implementation (the Bambu network plugin thingy) isn't a part of it either, it's downloaded by the client when BambuStudio is opened.

Seeing Wuppertal on the start-page of hackernews wasn't something on my bingo card lol

Hi, I added a part to the GitHub repo explaining this, basically its this:
- The extension requires permission to "Access all websites" solely to detect video players and enable Picture-in-Picture functionality across different websites
- No data is collected, stored, or shared with third parties
- All functionality operates locally on your device

I read a lot online and of course LLMs can probably help you there. I would suggest if it's nothing macOS/safari specific you want to build, start using chrome and develop the extension for it first. If you want to add safari to the list of supported browser later, you can easily adapt the code (as long as safari supports the apis for it).
