This seems like an intuitively quite plausible idea, thanks! I assume you mean
in the tooltip that shows the thumbnails, and by "most focused" you mean the
one that is currently focused, not tracking some frequency of how often a user
focused a particular window?
On the other hand, one could argue that a) the first windows are likely the
more important ones and b) the usefulness of the popup is highest if the
currently active window is not among them, because switching to it doesn't do
anything, so on smaller screens a good amount of the limited screen space for
displaying the thumbnail list is wasted on a useless option.
Another thing to consider is that media player buttons will only show on the
first window (unless we can relatively cleanly identify which particular window
is doing the actual playing). So if a user has e.g. multiple browser windows
open and there's a video playing in one of them, this would increase the
chances that the media player controls are not on screen, reducing their
usefulness somewhat.
I'm still inclined to think it's probably worth it; if the user browses the
list and selects one of them, it would make sense to me to start from
approximately that position if the user hovers the icon again. Will need to see
it in practice though, and maybe get feedback from users who use the thumbnail
version (I have the thumbnails disabled myself).
