Description

PROBLEM:
I often find it frustrating that when I have the Picture-in-Picture (PIP) mode active and want to return to the source tab to watch the video normally, I have to close PIP as well.

SOLUTION:
If the tab containing the source of the PIP media is active (or in focus), automatically close the PIP window when this proposed feature is enabled.

SHORT Table (Summary)
Problem In some use cases PIP on the source tab makes no sense, forcing the user to close PIP manually
Solution Give an option for users to automatically close PIP when the tab with the source video is active (in focus)

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the JavaScript handling Picture-in-Picture state and the option or settings entry point, then trace how the source tab becoming active is detected. Done means an enabled option closes the PIP window when its source tab is active, while disabled behavior remains unchanged.
