You'd think that web browsers would have a mechanism that prevents a site from automatically going fullscreen, and even if they do I wonder if it's a click through or something that's bypassing it.
This feels like a problem from 1990s web browsing that hasn't been solved yet and the only solution I know of right now is installing an adblocker so users aren't accidentally clicking malicious ads.
