What specific section or headline is this issue about?

#things_your_users_want_to_know

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

In addition, navigating to another page, changing tabs, or switching to another application (using, for example, Alt-Tab) while in fullscreen mode exits fullscreen mode as well.

What did you expect to see?

No mention of exiting fullscreen when using Alt-Tab because that is complete false info when using a multi-desktop environment like Linux where you can have multiple apps in fullscreen on their own desktops.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

See my taskbar with multiple Desktops, 2 activities with 3 desktops each, for a total of 6 independent desktops:

Do you have anything more you want to share?

I make frequent use of webpages, games, and apps in fullscreen on their own desktops and switch between them as wanted without leaving fullscreen mode of them.
