Update;(8/20/2015): I forgot to update this post sooner...Facebook decided to remove this feature from their website, a day or two after this was posted. I actually liked this feature and hope Facebook revitalizes it.

Facebook has added Picture in Picture (A.K.A. Floating Videos) on their website. For the native videos, you can watch it while scrolling on their site.
Surprisingly, this update has not been covered widely in the tech press, and Facebook has not released a PR statement about this.

Recently, Apple added functionality for PiPs in iOS 9. (Picture in Picture)
