Hi everyone!

I’d like to suggest the addition of a flag in opera://flags (or a toggle in advanced settings) to disable the "Press Esc to exit full screen" overlay warning.

The Problem:
Whenever I switch to full screen (F11) to take a clean screenshot of a webpage, an interface, or a project, I have to wait for the warning prompt to slowly fade out before I can actually capture the screen. It breaks the workflow, causes unnecessary friction, and gets extremely repetitive.

The Proposed Solution:
I understand this warning is a Chromium-level security feature designed to prevent malicious sites from trapping users in full screen (UI spoofing). However, hiding a toggle deep in opera://flags would ensure that average users remain protected by default, while giving developers and power users the agency to opt out of the warning for a smoother UX.

For comparison, Firefox currently allows users to bypass this via about:config (setting full-screen-api.warning.timeout to 0).

Since Opera GX is heavily marketed toward power users and gamers who value deep customization and efficiency, giving us control over this intrusive popup would be a fantastic quality-of-life improvement.
