<![CDATA[Full screen does not hide status bar]]>Full screen works OK, but the status bar is not yet hidden.
On a small screen every pixel is precious.
Can this be fixed ?

I'm using Samsung Internet Browser, which has this feature, but I would prefer Opera for other reasons. Unfortunately, because of AMOLED screens, this is a must have function in longterm.
I couldn't check if the Hide statusbar setting is available in non Samsung devices.

Do other browsers, in other phones, have such feature?

I did not find such feature in the latest beta build available in the playstore 47.0.2249.129321
