Request for an Option to Disable the Full-Screen 'X' Exit Button #42394

Platforms

all, Windows

Description

For websites like YouTube, after entering full-screen mode on Windows, this grey X dot appears. However, this does not seem to be the case on macOS. Which has proven having "X" button will result in a worse user experience.

It’s very distracting, much like the old “Esc to exit full screen” message, which we now thankfully have an option to disable. If we really want to exit full-screen mode, we can easily do it manually or by pressing "F" on YouTube. Having the ability to disable this X button should also be an option.

I’m sincerely asking for this feature to be added, similar to the option to disable the “Esc to exit full screen” message. Many users don’t like it, and this has been reported widely on platforms like Reddit, the Brave community, and Google forums.

Here are some examples (and there are plenty more):

https://community.brave.com/t/how-to-disable-this-fullscreen-x-exit-button/144391 https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/2757504/remove-black-circle-x-button-in-fullscreen-mode?hl=en https://www.reddit.com/r/BoosteroidCommunity/comments/1d3fkmp/disable_exit_full_screen_button_for_chrome/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Diepio/comments/97nlnj/how_to_remove_chromes_x_dot_which_kicks_you_out/

Adding this option would help make Brave even more minimalistic, which could attract more users from Chrome. Plus more option is alwasy better than it will suite more people.

Thank you for reading, and please consider this request. Have a great day!
