webapps on telegram desktop can put themselves in fullscreen right from opening without any user interaction. are you ready for the new era of jumpscare?

is it too complicated to give a minimum of choice to developers on the size of windows? most webapps, especially games, are made to respect the size of smartphones. since this update there is also a “fullscreen” button on all webapps opened from tdesktop and tgmacos. needless to say 99% are not made for this purpose.

Webapp developers will be happy to know that there is no minimum size limit on telegram macos /s PS: this is still here
