Could you build this?
Partial A browser extension for Picture-in-Picture is easy, but rendering live synchronized subtitles into a canvas video stream across encrypted DRM video players (like Netflix) is technically tricky.
What it would actually take: Requires a browser extension that intercepts DOM/WebVTT subtitle tracks from streaming players, renders text onto an offscreen HTML5 `<canvas>`, captures the canvas as a `MediaStream`, and feeds it into the Picture-in-Picture API while overcoming DRM overlay protections.
