Toggle Fullscreen

Adds a simple fullscreen button, plus toggle via the context menu.

Toggle Fullscreen Extension

Enhance your browsing experience with the Toggle Fullscreen extension. This simple yet effective tool adds a fullscreen ⛶ button and a right-click context menu option, allowing you to toggle between window states effortlessly without using the keyboard shortcuts like F11. The unique feature of this extension is its ability to preserve your previous window state upon exiting fullscreen mode, addressing a common limitation in Chrome's built-in options.

As of 2017, Chrome included its own context menu item for exiting full screen, but it often fails to restore the original window state. The Toggle Fullscreen extension resolves this issue by providing a dedicated toggle option that ensures a smooth transition back to your last used window configuration, enhancing your overall browsing experience.

Pros

Simple, elegant, and easy to use with one-click fullscreen toggle.
Does exactly what it claims, no unnecessary features or permissions.
Useful alternative to the F11 fullscreen key, especially on devices without easy keyboard access (e.g., Chromebooks, compact keyboards).
Works well on desktops and MacBook Chrome browser.
Provides fullscreen functionality via a button and context menu toggle.

Cons

On exiting fullscreen, the window minimizes or resizes unexpectedly, requiring manual maximization/restoration.
Doesn't restore the window to its previous maximized state after exiting fullscreen, instead goes to a smaller or restored window size.
Does not work properly on certain browsers or devices, including Chromium-based browsers on Android (Yandex, Kiwi browser) and Android 14.
Lacks a fullscreen to window feature, only toggles fullscreen mode.
In some language versions, navigation buttons or gestures are missing or cumbersome after fullscreen mode.
