The swipe in is a system input for back action. It works on every app and between apps, and it works anywhere on the right side of the screen, instead of having to reach wherever your app back button is, if it’s not collapsed and has to be scrolled in to view as well.
If you look at the screenshot, it doesn’t even have a back button. Only a close button. Whether they navigated or not is not clear, but likely won’t change the header controls in this view.
Is this some kind of iOS thing? Screenehot looks like Android… My phone does not have a universal swipe action for backing out of apps (swiping left to right or right to left are app dependent on what they do), and you can also make the bottom control buttons never hide themselves.
Do you have android 10+? Than you should find something like “gesture control” in your options. This replaces the buttons at the bottom (back, home, apps) with gestures
swipe from the left or right edge towards center -> back
swipe from the bottom edge towards center
-> home
swipe from the bottom edge towards center and hold -> show open apps
on homescreen, swipe upwards anywhere besides the bottom edge -> app drawer

Nah, it works great besides when some shitty news site hijacks the controls
