Fullscreen Extension

This extension does one thing: it adds real full screen functionality to every web page. Title bars will be hidden too!


💡 Usage:

— To toggle full screen on/of: click the extension button or press Ctrl+⇧+O or ⌘+⇧+O
— To leave full screen: press Esc


❤️ No special permissions required. No trackers, no safety risks, no bloat, no nothing. Super simple, lightweight (only 7kb) and open-source.



Inspired by Mark Tiedemann who developed an initial no-nonsense fullscreen extension for Firefox. Find the code here: https://github.com/th0rgall/fullscreen
