Any operating system works

This addons works on all computers - the operating system you use doesn't matter.


Features:

Whether you are following a coding tutorial, reviewing lecture footage, or simply listening to a podcast while browsing, juggling windows can break your rhythm. Media Player Lite solves that problem by opening any local video or audio file in a compact, draggable overlay that floats above the current webpage.

Features

One-click launch Click the toolbar icon once to inject the player overlay; click again to close it.

Drag-and-drop or browse
Drop files directly onto the overlay or use the built-in file picker—no complicated dialogs.

Movable & resizable
The header bar doubles as a drag handle; CSS variables keep scaling snappy.

Purely local playback
Files never leave your device; the script streams via a blob: URL, protecting privacy.

Stay Focused, Stay in Flow Developers can code with a tutorial hovering in the corner; students can take notes without interrupting playback; casual users can shop or scroll social feeds while podcasts continue uninterrupted.

Battery- and Bandwidth-Friendly Because the player streams from disk, there is no re-buffering overhead. The service worker sleeps when the overlay closes, conserving CPU cycles on laptops.

Who Will Get the Most Value?

Remote workers & developers
Keep tutorial videos visible while editing code or terminal windows.

Students & educators
Watch lecture recordings while annotating slides or typing notes in Google Docs.

Podcasters & music lovers
Listen to high-resolution FLAC or WAV files in the background without chewing through data.

Productivity enthusiasts
Combine the overlay with time-block planners or Kanban boards to stay motivated.

Language learners
Reposition subtitle-heavy videos next to study materials for side-by-side practice.

Accessibility advocates
Enables keyboard-only users to start local media without opening a separate player application.

Corporate training departments
Distribute localized builds company-wide and track zero user data.

Media Player Lite brings together the convenience of picture-in-picture, the safety of fully local playback
