Hi, I’ve been experiencing an issue with Brave when watching YouTube videos in fullscreen mode. A horizontal scroll bar appears at the bottom of the screen, even though it shouldn’t be visible in fullscreen.

I’ve tried the following steps:

- Enabled the `Overlay Scrollbars` flag in `brave://flags` – this partially worked, but the scrollbar still reappears intermittently.

- Ensured the zoom level is 100%.

- Used both the YouTube fullscreen button and F11.

- Disabled extensions that could affect the layout.

The scrollbar is distracting and breaks the fullscreen experience. It doesn’t happen in other browsers like Chrome or Firefox, only Brave.

Here’s a screenshot of the issue in fullscreen mode:

Is there any permanent fix or setting to completely hide scrollbars while in fullscreen on YouTube?

Brave version: [1.81.131](https://brave.com/latest/)  
OS: Windows 10 x64
