Creator of Roll20 Room Can See Entire Page (Dynamic Lighting enabled) When Logged in As Player

In Roll20 game rooms that I've created, when another member is running a game in that room (they have GM privileges), and I am logged in as a Player (not using view as player, when joined as a player), I see the entire page.  Dynamic lighting has been enabled for this room, the wall lines should block me from seeing beyond the room (as well as blocked by the black circles as pillars) where lines have been drawn on the Lighting layer.  All other players see the room correctly (vision is blocked) and see darkened areas.  I do not have access to any other GM features (you can see the player toolbar on the left) and everything else works correctly as a player should see.  My movement is still blocked by the lighting lines, I cannot move my token out of the room, which means the lines are still there and registering in the game on my end, but does not seem to affect my vision.  I've tested this in a different Roll20 game room with a different GM running that game.  For some reason I still see the entire map for any map that the players are moved to, whether dynamic lighting is on or off.  This occurs when I'm using a Chromium-based browser (Vivaldi), Windows 11 machine.  I've also tested using FireFox, which DOES work correctly in showing the correct lighting.

Hi JmanX, Seems like a browser problem.  Chromium-based browsers aren't the same as Chrome (vanilla).  Roll20 only supports FF and Chrome. Testing that, does it work with Chrome?
Hi Vince, I don't have Chrome (trying to avoid the Google monster as much as possible :P ).  I figured it was a browser issue, but figured was worth reporting in case it comes up for other people or maybe Roll20 devs are able to fix it when they get a chance.  Thanks though!

I totally understand why people use alternate browsers.  Given Roll20 explicitly states they only support FF and Chrome, you might consider using Chrome and/or FF only for Roll20 sessions since you may experience oddities with the VTT when using an unsupported browser.  ;-(  Cheers

I have heard good things about compatibility with Opera, specifically Opera GX. In the end, any browser that works is a viable alternative. Chrome and FF are just the ones for which the VTT receives dedicated code fixes.
