Description

Would it be possible to use the little space left behind when status bar is disappearing ? Currently, this space is not used. Don't know if that's the case for all Android versions.

According to the following page, it should be possible (for, at least, Android 10).

Does the device you are using have a camera cutout?

I should be able to create an option to draw the full screen browsing under the cutout (some video playing apps do this, so I know it is possible). However, there should be an option to turn this off as it could cover an important aspect of a website. The question now is if the default should be enabled or disabled.

Having this option turned off by default seems, for me, to be the less annoying for most of the users. It will prevent that some users, maybe the less experienced, could think it is a bug (that some [important] part of a web page is hidden).

I believe that the cutout of the camera orb is very small, whether you take even a small device or a flagship. The odds of it interfering the website's interface should be almost negligible because most of the websites contain headers, with some title / heading. You can easily the guess the missing text there, as the orb cuts only a single letter.

Even if the website hides the header while scrolling (through scripting), that wouldn't be an issue too. Caz the screen real estate is too large to even begin with, users can scroll the content where the camera orb doesn't exist.

And in the rare cases, the orb isn't an orb. Maybe it's a notch. But the devices that were launched with a notch, were very less. So you might factor in the notch area coverage setting. But nonethless of the defaults on or off, I would say bringing this config out into the userspace will be a very good move.
