How to disable the To Exit Full Screen press Esc message at the top of the screen in Chrome and Firefox browsers.
This window with the message "To Exit Full Screen, press Esc" appears every time the window goes into Full Screen.
It stays on the screen for a few seconds, covers the screen, and is very annoying.
It is especially annoying when you prefer to watch videos in full screen mode.
Surely many people have had the idea to remove it more than once.
But there are no settings for the Chrome browser that would allow you to disable this message. And digging around the Internet, they looked for how to solve this, but probably did not find anything.
