Swiping down on the video if in full screen should go out of full screen.

This would interfere with volume/brightness gesture control.

This would interfere with volume/brightness gesture control.

Not if its swiped in the middle of the screen

FYI, Newpipe app can already minimize the player on full screen by swiping down upper interface. So, swiping up from bottom interface could be added for getting out of full screen.

I was talking about getting out of full screen, to be exact.

This would interfere with volume/brightness gesture control.

Not if it's configurable or contained to a certain zone of the screen such as the center. Honestly fullscreen switching makes a lot more sense to me as a default gesture, volume buttons already exist and with gesture control I often get anxious that I could accidentally shred my eardrums. Plus it's the default in the main YT app, it's honestly one of the main things keeping me from switching from Vanced entirely.

YouTube Revanced implemented this way.

Swipe up: Show next and similar videos
Swipe down: Minimise the player
Long press+Swipe up/down on right side: Volume
Long press+Swipe up/down on left side: Brightness

Oh wow. I really like the idea of having a long-press before swipe for volume and brightness. It makes accidental changes far less likely.
