Created attachment 479102 [details] dev tools output immediately inside trusted click handlers, breaking requestFullscreen on YouTube, Patreon, and other video sites Steps: Go to youtube.com, click the fullscreen icon on any video. Nothing happens. Pressing F works correctly. Diagnostic: Inside an isTrusted: true click handler on a button, navigator.userActivation.isActive returns false, causing video.requestFullscreen() to silently reject. hasBeenActive returns true, so the user has clicked — only the transient activation on this specific click is missing. Regression: Worked in Safari 26.3. Broke in Safari 26.4.

Thank you for the report! I cannot reproduce this with Safari 26.5 beta, and I don't think that we've had other reports of the fullscreen button being broken on Youtube. Could there be anything unusual about your configuration, such as perhaps any extensions?
