How an I can disable "Press ESC to exit Full Screen mode?"

PanKot

This inscription is very annoying. And she stays for a very long time.
There was already a topic like this, but the admin decided that this could be done and closed the topic without an answer.
Google search sends me to this forum and also does not give an answer

Hi, no wonder, you cant disable it.
How do you disable this in Chrome?

My English is to bad, thought you want to disable the Esc key.

Pathduck

Settings > Webpages > Show Fullscreen Reminder

Far as I know, Vivaldi is the only browser where you can disable it this easily. Searching settings for "fullscreen" finds it immediately.

@mib2berlin I don't want to exit full screen mode, I don't want to see this huge caption every time, especially on short videos.
But I can't find anywhere how to disable this.
And I also use a translator from Ukrainian or Russian into English. Possible inaccurate translation

PanKot

@Pathduck Thank you, I found it this way by searching and turned it off

@Pathduck Strange. The option is enabled for me:

Show Fullscreen Reminder

However, I do not see the reminder, and Escape does nothing, unless I am watching a YouTube video, then it exits from fullscreen.

I have not assigned the shortcut Esc to any other command.

@Pesala

The same here.

Strange? Not.

Chromium=Google=Youtube

Pathduck

@Pesala It's ony for site-initiated fullscreen, i.e. clicking a button to go fullscreen. It won't trigger for F11, not the same thing.

I don't know why YouTube is a special case for you

Pesala

@Pathduck YouTube is a law unto itself.

I do see the message Press Escape to Exit Fullscreen message on Vimeo, if the setting is enabled.

PanKot

@Pesala I specifically returned this notification in the settings and checked it for YouTube.
If you turn it on, there is an alert, if you turn it off, there is no notification.
I am very glad

What a relief!
A big thank you to the inventor mind of this, also a thank you to the OP for asking fot it... I hadn't even thought that I could disable this from settings!

@Pathduck They removed this option with the last update. Looks like Vivaldi is on a path of many bad decisions lately.

Decisons made by the chromium devs, vivaldi devs can't do anything about it if a functionality is now seen as "security issue", even if it's deemed as stupid by everyone else.

see for example this thread
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/106438/how-to-disable-press-esc-to-exit-fullscreen-popup/3?_=1742398273026

with a CSS mod by @Pathduck that allows removing that message

Shion

@iAN-CooG Did they explain how an annoying message nobody needs is a "security issue"? Any place where I can send my heartful FY to chromium devs?

iAN CooG

@Shion I don't follow and don't care to follow chromium development ML, so I don't know. All I know comes from this forum, to which I already dedicate too much time

Shion

@iAN-CooG The mod seems to be working. Thank you!

It is strange, however. If it is possible to mod the thing out, why didn't Vivaldi keep the option? It would only change how it works.
