Sideplayer is a Chrome Extension which lets you Watch YouTube while you Browse the Web

Youtube videos can be quite entertaining, but they also distract your from other productive things that you might be doing. But there’s a way to try and combine your work online and the next episode from your favorite Youtuber.

watch youtube videos side by side chrome

Sideplayer is as a free Chrome extension which is described as the background TV for your browser. So, whatever you’re doing on the web, you can use this really simple tool to watch videos in the same time, as well. You can see in the above screenshot how will the video appear.
The Chrome extension comes with a size of around 35 KB, so it’s really lightweight. Its official page on the Chrome store says it is currently at version 0.0.3, which means the product is still in beta. Thus, if you encounter various glitches, you should know that this is more or less a normal behavior.
After you will have installed the extension, you need to restart Chrome for it to work. And once that is complete, you will have a new button in the top right corner of your Chrome browser, as you can see in the screenshot from below.

In order to have an YouTube video playing outside your current tab, you need to click the Sideplayer button under any YouTube video or video thumbnail or past the link to the Youtube video. The window is easily resizable and you can drag where you want it. It also comes with autoplay, so you don’t have to worry about that. And yes, of course, Sideplayer works when changing tabs, as that is actually its main feature.
I’ve used the extension for a couple of videos, and found that at times, it was slightly lagging. However, this might’ve happened on account of the huge number of tabs that I had opened. But other than that, it pretty much works flawlessly and I recommend it to anyone looking for such an utility.

The Right Way to Clean Your Keyboard, Tablet and Smartphone

W e recently came across the list of the top most dirty objects in an average household, and surprisingly, it’s not the toilet seat. Some of the items that were ranked at the top of that list have definitely made us think twice before making a call or looking up updates on Facebook. The keyboard on which you typed to get to this page, or the touchscreen that you swipe on are some of the most bacteria-rich items in your household, so keeping these squeaky clean should be a top priority. While there are lots of methods and products for cleaning these items, most of us ignore this. How similar do you find this scenario: Your smartphone’s screen is really dirty, so you rub it on your shirt, or a piece of cloth that’s close by, or you remember that it’s been some time since you’ve cleaned your keyboard, so you turn it upside down and give it a few slaps. Most of us use this (or a very similar) technique and think “Now it’s clean!”, but the truth of the matter is that it’s j...
