Research direction

Start by reproducing the fullscreen action on the reported SM-A70FN running Android 11, then trace the Android app's fullscreen handling. Done means pressing fullscreen no longer blanks the page, search bar, and rest of the site; the intermittent behavior should be covered by a reliable verification path.
