WeblioX makes them behave. • Picture-in-Picture for any HTML5 video — keep watching while you scroll, message, or switch apps • AirPlay any video to your Apple TV from any web player • Smart tab muting — only the visible tab makes sound, the rest pause until you switch back —— DOWNLOADS, STRAIGHT TO FILES —— Long-press any link to download.
