Please provide the means to hide default Fullscreen UI (black exit button)
So I am building an extension that essentially leverages power of chrome.windows API. I am Windows user, common sense, my browser of choice to test the extension is everyone's beloved Microsoft Edge (hereinafter – MS Edge). The purpose of extension is to provide Window controls overlay when user is in Fullscreen mode. As you can see in the demo, my extension duplicates with default-provided Fullscreen mode UI such as the black exit ( X ) button, the one that I'd like to hide – for that I can consider at least two possible scenarios :
- as a developer I could achieve this via edge://flags/#edge-enable-shy-ui
- as an end-user I would like to have ability control Shy UI over MS Edge Settings/Appearance
Worth to mention that I enter a Fullscreen via aforementioned chrome.windows API, not via Fullscreen API, so the following is effortless :
.requestFullscreen({ navigationUI: "hide" })
We all want to make Microsoft Edge better: just like any software which comes with defaults also should provide means to customize, not most of it, but every aspect of its UI.
Thank you.
As of now, it seems to be a default behaviour and no more controllable via experimental flags, at least I cannot find one via edge://flags/#edge-enable-shy-ui anymore. If this is true, I only want to praise the Microsoft Edge maintainers with this movement towards user-friendly PWA-like behaviour, well done ! ♥

If someone is still struggling with X toast experience whilst exiting Chromium-specific Fullscreen mode and think that Edge-specific Shy UI is a not enough, where is a discussion on its (i.e. the X toast) removal (see comment), and to make it happen upvoting the proposal is likely the best way of showing your sympathy towards this matter.
More than 800 end users have stumbled upon this thread so far and the number is growing. As a web developer, I strongly believe, your support by upvoting will push yours and everyone's else experience to the whole new level !Thank you, for everyone's time and consideration. 🤗
