This doesn't work for Vivaldi for some reason. I get a dark grey screen, text says "Press esc to exit full screen mode" for a few seconds, then that disappears leaving just the dark grey. No matter which colour I select in the app. Seems like a weird thing not to work in a usually pretty good browser but I'm not sure exactly what this is using.

This is kind of creepy: for some reason Firefox only displays the “Full screen” pop-up warning several seconds after the website has actually gone full screen. I don't know what causes this delay, but if there's a way to raise it high enough, it completely defeats the point of the warning, and could lead to fishing.

Can't reproduce. The notification starts scrolling into view the same time the webpage becomes full-screeen. Firefox Nightly on Linux Desktop here. Please report a but with more details if this is also true for you on Firefox Nightly.

This is also the case on up-to-date regular Firefox on Linux, and has been for several years.

Works fine for me on Vivaldi. I get the "Press esc to exit full screen mode" message but see the colours just fine.

Ctrl+L data:text/html, Enter F11 Lately I had been thinking that task _"fill your screen with colour X (really fast)"_ would make a nice (ugly) interview question, revealing creativity and exploring different approaches. For maximum points I'd expect candidate given task "fill your screen with black" to simply turn it off.

Yeah, I definitely do not like non consensual meddling outside of a browser window, even if it's just annoying and not actually harmful.

I never understood the point of interview questions like this. Like, really? You're going to ask another adult to fill a screen with black and expect them to turn it off? Why??

I remember there was a proof of concept that beat a similar warning in Flash by displaying a background filled with similar text.

This worked, because Flash merely overlaid the full screen warning over what the app displayed. A huge dump of random text meant most humans missed the warning.
