I found the flag to disable it, but I’m really curious why the decision was made in the first place. On Chrome and Firefox, l If you double click this example HTML5 : https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp, it will go full screen. I’ve always wondered why sometimes click on a video would make it go fullscreen, it’s laggy and annoying for me, even on high-end laptops. On My Mac, as well as in Windows and Fedora VMs.

    I feel like that’s been standard on every browser for the past 2 decades. The alternative is every video player having a different button (in a different place, of course) for it or like…right click > full screen. Both are way worse imo

    Double click to maximize is intuitive for computer users, too, because that’s how window control works in the OS
