Description

The setting introduced by #38928 has no effect when pressing F11 to manually toggle fullscreen.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Press the F11 key to manually toggle fullscreen.

Actual result

A reminder message appears at the top of the screen, even if Settings > System > "Show full screen reminder to press Esc on exit" is toggled off. This message may say "To exit full screen, press and hold Esc" or "To exit full screen, press F11", depending on brave://flags/#press-and-hold-esc-to-exit-browser-fullscreen.

Expected result

No message should have appeared at the top of the screen when entering fullscreen mode.
