FYI: Chrome Bug - PiP API stopped working on localhost breaking Popup

[samydoesit]

In case anyone else notices this:
Unfortunately, the PiP (Picture in Picture API) has broken in Chrome under http://localhost.

Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Failed to execute 'requestWindow' on 'DocumentPictureInPicture': Opening a PiP window requires https or file protocol

There is also an official issue about this in the Google Chrome Bugtracker:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1486404&q=component%3ABlink%3EMedia%3EPictureInPicture%20localhost&can=2

As a workaround you can develop on chrome 116 which was the first version which released pip for now, you can find it here (for mac) https://google-chrome.en.uptodown.com/mac/post-download/106936027

this is not a bug, you need to run your dev server with https flag:
