No real Fullscreen on Youtube

LandVogt

I have this problem for a couple of weeks now.

When I watch a video on Youtube in Fullscreen, there still is the Scrollbar visible on the right side of my screen and I can scroll down into the comment section while in Fullscreen mode. This is pretty annoying, because a part of the screen is missing.
It only happens with the Vivaldi browser, the Edge browser for example works fine.

I already looked into the settings and here in the forum but haven't found anything about this problem.

It's a new feature from YouTube. It works like that in other browsers too.

Do you use any extensions with custom styles for YouTube, "extra" features or some custom CSS? I use one and I have custom themed scrollbars (dark) and I can see the scrollbar in full-screen videos on YouTube too. I haven't found a workaround for that yet. The only solution that works in my case is to disable that extension.

Okay, I didn't know it is YouTube's fault.

Thank you! This is the answer. I totally forgot that I use Stylus with a dark theme for YT (better for my eyes) and got so used to it that I haven't considered it as a possible troublemaker.
If I disable the theme, the scrollbar disappears. Thank you very much.

If you or someone else figures out a workaround (besides turning the theme off), it would be very nice to share it with me/us.

You can workaround this (kind of) by watching "embedded" videos in full screen. Like eg. https://www.youtube.com/embed/feGKcVUjj0s instead of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feGKcVUjj0s

Why don't you use the built-in dark theme on YouTube? It's pretty good and it's an official style, so it should always be up-to-date. My case is different - I use custom scrollbars on all websites and it causes this issue on YouTube. So far I've given up on trying to fix that - maybe when I'll have more spare time, one day...
