Pop Up Browser

Newbie
This might be hard to word, but basically the only time I can get to the pop up browser (the one to watch videos or look at websites with still doing something else at the same time) is by going to a video in the galley and hit the "Pop Up Play" button or going on a website and clicking on a link and choosing the pop up browser to display the new link.

So my question is say I'm on YouTube and want to go to the pop up browser. Is there any way to manually have it pop up? Sometime I'm watching a YouTube video and want to look something up but there is no way that I see how to get to pop up browser to show up, so that I can continue to watching my video without having to reload it and look up whatever it is that I wanted to search.

Thanks in advance

I think the pop up browser is designed more for looking at links in web pages than what you're describing. If you want to do things like watch you tube and web browse at the same time use either pop up video player where you can resize the video window and move it round the screen or the multi window feature. That's one of the key features/selling points of the note 2.

I also think it only works with the native apps on the phone (the ones your phone comes pre-loaded with)
 
The pop up browser will work with anything as long as there's a link to click on. Multi window does only work with certain apps. You tube is one of them. In theory you could have 3 or 4 web pages going using multi window, it supports the native browser and chrome at the same time.
