I was having the same issue with Picture in Picture in both Opera browsers, Opera GX and Opera. The fix that worked for me is as follows:-
- Go to opera://flags
- Search for Video
- Disable Video Popout Redesign
Hope it works for you too.
Do more on the web, with a fast and secure browser!
Download Opera browser with:
- built-in ad blocker
