<![CDATA[Borderless window when streaming]]>When I'm working on my computer, I often like to stream a movie or play a podcast in a small window. However, Opera’s current design takes up too much screen space due to the borders, scrollbars, sidebars, and title bar. It would look much prettier, if I could have a minimalast window when in something like a "movie" or "streaming" mode.

I tried to this manually, for example, I can turn off the "sidebar", but this disables it for all Opera windows, which isn’t what I want. Ideally, I’d like to make just one specific Opera window minimalist, while leaving the rest of the browser tabs/windows unchanged. That way, I can continue browsing or working in Word or Excel, while having a small streaming window running on the side.

It would be great if this feature could be tested with common streaming platforms like Amazon Prime, Netflix, Paramount+, YouTube, etc.

Another issue I’ve noticed is that I’m not able to resize the movie window beyond a certain minimum size. There seems to be a physical limit. Sometimes I want a really compact window, so I can have a video streaming on the side, taking up only a small space.

In short, I’d love to see the option to turn a single Opera window into a minimalist “movie mode” or streaming view: borderless, resizable, and independent of the global UI settings.

Anyone else want this too?
