Bree Vwhyman (ID: 0000008647febb7f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/26/2021 Your extension WORKS correctly. It even works on variuos flavors of Chrome and Chromium.....such as "slimjet". This extension allows you to run the browser in full screen and use the full screen feature often & without leaving that condition. There are similar extensions but some have issues. THis extension does not seem to cause any browsing issues. The extension works correct. Many many thanks for your free extension. .......i hope to continue using your free extension.

Houmam Hatahet (ID: 00000022f26634af) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/19/2018 Awesome so far! Is it possible to add an option or a button that just creates a new tab without the need to type a URL?

Tyler Colby-Wolter (ID: 0000006852e9f82f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/08/2018 This is exactly what I was looking for! I have tried other extensions that claimed to do this, and they were either clunky, or just didn't work at all. This extension does exactly as advertised. I use dwm (a tiling window manager) and Arch Linux with two monitors, I like to keep a few fullscreen windows of google chrome open on my second monitor for quick reference to information. This lets me keep only one window open and not have to exit fullscreen to launch a new tab. Brilliant!

Thiago Souza (ID: 000000f57443d263) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/08/2017 Great !! Works fine in fullscreen mode too. I would like suggest you to give us a option to change the shortcut.
