Croping issue when I Watch Netflix fullscreen with safari

I had this problem too. I haven't find any solution, so I made one, unit somebody will fix this. I am using app called Cascadea, which is injecting CSS to Netflix website, which can solve the issue.

1. Install Cascadea or other css injection app
2. Create new injection - set "URL starts with" and add "https://netflix.com
3. Paste the code, save, turn on

video {
max-width: 100vw;
max-height: 100vh;
}

4. Watch your favorite show with fullscreen ✨

Thank me here

Or just use the green button on Safari to enter full screen. HOWEVER, it leaves the Tab bar and Address bar visible! Netflix on Chrome will neatly show full screen without this issue. I am pretty sure it's a bug with Safari, not Netflix.

This is a great workaround. Thank you!

If you uncheck “always show tool bar in full screen ” in the view drop down, it gets rid of the url, bookmarks, and tabs

Hi!

Just discover that the shortcut is not command+f but fn(the earth globe)+f

Great solution - thanks for sharing.

Imagine coming up with your own solution to fix the service you paying money for. It's not even some weird browser. Its apples primary one.

Hi. I think I found a solution.

The issue was also reported on reddit, so I’m guessing that the issue arises when your device is connected to an external monitor. 

I can’t really tell if the issue is coming from Netflix or Safari, but I also use a MacBook Pro with an external monitor (LG Ultrafine 4K).

So the solution is—instead of entering the full screen mode by clicking the full screen icon in the lower right corner on Netflix or by double-clicking the video you’re watching—go to the menu bar on Safari. Then, select “View” and select “Enter Full Screen.” Voila.

In other words, Safari menu bar > View > Enter Full Screen.

Thanks. 

I have latest 2023 Macbook Pro with Sonoma, HMDI'ed with Dell 27" S2721NX. Using Safari to watch Netflix, I hit the button "F" to play full screen, it crops but when I use Chrome, it doesn't. Something Chrome has that Safari doesn't?

No problem!

Thank you, seems to work for me.
