how to stop automatic picture-in-picture

I love using picture-in-picture, but there are times when I want the video I'm watching to keep playing, but not pop out into the PiP and cover part of the screen I'm focusing on. I wish there was a way for me to keep the option to use the PiP, but not have it forced any time I want to switch tabs. I looked pretty hard and couldn't find any info, but if I'm just missing it and could be pointed in the right direction, I'd be super grateful!
