ios 17 safari When playing a video, you cannot directly slide the screen to fast forward or rewind the video.

When I watch a video in iOS 16 using Safari, I can swipe the screen with my finger to fast forward or rewind the video. However, after I upgraded to iOS 17, this operation was removed, and now the direct swipe screen operation when watching videos has changed to exit full screen. I don't understand why this is, I really need to directly swipe the screen to fast forward when watching videos. Rewind the operation, thank you!

At first glance, the above solutions are a waste of time and deceive newbies.
