I'd like to watch youtube videos with a small video down in the corner without a lot of wasted space on the screen such as title bars, address bar, bookmarks bar, scroll bar, etc.

Three options:
VLC Method
- Open VLC
- Right click > enable Minimal Mode
- Right click titlebar in Unity > Always on Top (Unity has an option for all workspaces)
- "Play Network Stream" (Ctrl-N) and pasting the YouTube link of any video in the prompt
It's tedious because there's no youtube browsing, but its great for performance.
Firefox Method
- One could modify Firefox
Workspace Method
- One could setup a live preview of a fullscreen youtube in another workspace: Can I have a window showing small live preview of another workspace?
Google Chrome
Right-click twice with the pointer somewhere in the video and you'll see a Picture-in-picture option - click it and away you go. - @AnthonyK
Opera browser
Click the shortcut icon in the top middle of the video when you hover. – @AnthonyK
