Regarding 1: I searched, but couldn't find such issues in the tracker. You're referring to other users, but do you face this issue on your device, too? (For me, I couldn't reproduce it (auto brightness disabled or enabled - the brightness changes to its normal value after leaving full screen))

If it's a personal preference, you can just disable it in the settings.

I agree with disabling it by default, but I want to point this out:

Ideally everyone using phone knows to increase brightness by slider (from notification).

The gesture is there so that we won't have to open that thing when we're in the middle of a video.

Also, you're using the bug report template, but you should be using the feature request template in this case, as this is not a bug. I won't close this issue, but please choose the correct template next time.

The brightness gesture is godsend why would anyone want to disable it 🤔

1: This should be resolved when 20.9 releases. (duplicate of #4481 resolved in #5283)
2: duplicate of #3713

@urlordjames indeed you are right. @dilbech you can comment on #3713 to voice your opinion about this.
