New Update Mullvad Browser

The last time I tried Mullvad Browser (about a year ago) it would not load in full screen mode. From my understanding in a Google AI search that's because it's not fingerprinting your device, to find out your screen resolution.

Is that still the case, or was there something else going on with my end?
I recall trying MB last year, I had the same user experience, but there are settings related to Fingerprint... if that was disabled, MB started in full screen like other browsers.
