Opera for Android: display content over cutout hole.

Current behavior: in landscape mode, opera shows black bar on the side with punch hole.

Desired behavior: use 100% width of the display, drawing over camera punchhole area. Chrome does it.

Reason why this is important: on flodable devices screen is very close to a square, eating width by useless black bar makes videos significantly smaller

Opera:

Chrome:

@tozoooom I have it both on Opera and Chrome.

In fact I have it on all apps.

@leocg android system has special settings for punchhole.
On my system, "Display and brightness" -> more settings -> Display cutout

Can be configured per app. Chrome changes behavior depending on this settings, and Opera ignores it

@leocg is this screenshot taken with "chrome: show cutout" configuration?

P.S. i also tried chrome on external and internal screens, and it's weird

Screenshots taken on the same device seconds apart

@tozoooom Mine don't have that setting, I've enabled an option called fullscreen that was the most related one I could find.

@leocg my device is Android 14, Honor V3. Android supported this feature since Android 9. There will be some changes in Android 15
