Chrome for Android will support automatic Picture-in-Picture. This feature allows tabs playing media to automatically minimize into a small, floating window when you switch tabs or open the tab switcher, and there will be a setting to allow or block it, similar to how it works in Chrome for desktop.

Google denied Pixel 8 warranty repair claiming “liquid damage” — but refused to provide any proof. Anyone else?
Hi everyone,
I have a Google Pixel 8, still under the EU 3-year legal warranty. The phone suddenly stopped working overnight while charging normally.
