Persistent grey bar in full-screen of videos, Microsoft Edge on MacOs

Hello,

I've been having this issue that has made using Youtube & Amazon Video on Edge browser on my Macbook very frustrating. It has been here for a few months now – I was hoping it would get ironed out by updates but it has not. If you see below, there is this a grey bar that does not go away when making videos full screen. It is visually distracting and takes up space on a video that fills up the screen. I have deleted & reinstalled Edge once, tried using it with a guest profile (so with default settings?), but it is still here. This issue does not happen on other browsers on this device. What is going on?

Device is a 2020 M1 Macbook Pro, running Sonoma 14.

Try this. In the menu bar click on "View">"Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen".
