Latest firefox has new Picture-In-Picture feature so you can watch videos while doing other things. You can click on the pip link that will appear when watching a video and the video will move to TopMost window in bottom-right while all your other windows work as normally.
It's especially nice if you're doing training videos and you want to use your code editor while watching a video.
Here's a snapshot of it:

(That's the feature running on Ubuntu desktop, but it works on Win10 too.)
I switched away from Google Chrome to FireFox over a year ago and it has been nice.

Or ... open Chrome on monitor 1, and VS on monitor 2 ...

Yeah...part of the features of most GUI-based operating systems is to manage windows independently...you'd have to think they would be best suited to allow the user to arrange different windows as he pleases. I can't imagine the people behind Firefox, as smart as they think they might be, could be doing a better job of it.

I suspect it's there so you can watch the sportsball match while pretending to work to a casual observer such as your boss ...

Oh, yes, for the _rich_ dev who has two monitors, that is all well and good.
But, for the rest of us...There is (Picture-in-Picture)PIP.
Seriously, at home I only have one monitor and this PIP really helps.

I'm not rich, and I have three now: I added one for email / DB monitoring when Herself stopped using her computer ...
I really miss 'em when - like now - I'm on the surface. Doing things so much slower with just one!

Noooooo! You do not need to be rich to have 2 monitors! You just need to have your priorities straight! Eat and drink a little less - buy a second monitor!

Quite right!
Why waste money on necessities, when there are luxuries you still don't have?

Yes, I thought it was so great that I immediately went to settings, and turned it off.
A couple of other browsers let you pop videos out to separate windows, so that you can move them out of the way of the text you're trying to read. That's a slightly better solution, but I hardly ever used that, either.

You can "script" the Windows Voice Synthesizer. English has at least 5 "voices", so now you can have a 5-way. Tried multiple Synths, but only one was effective, so you can't "talk over" someone. Still, with changing pitch, etc., you can have interesting meetings (behind closed doors) and not even be there.
Or add it as a script / hook to your co-workers PC so it talks back as they type.

That works! You can include wav files with the text speak.

Then in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds.
Holding the audience in total silence, he said in to the microphone "Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."
From the front of the crowd, a broad Scottish accent pierced the quiet
"Well stop doin' it then, ya evil bastard!"

All nature is ultimately mathematics so this doesn't surprise me. Sometimes our math just isn't evolved enough to express it.
Beautiful equations, we are. All of us. Everything.
Adding, it pleases me to know that every time I stir my coffee, a mathematician somewhere is dumbfounded.
