Fullscreen is a minimalist Chrome extension that enables real fullscreen mode on every webpage by hiding all browser elements, including title bars. Toggle fullscreen easily via the extension button or keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Shift+O or ⌘+Shift+O), and exit with the Esc key.

This extension stands out by requiring no special permissions, having no trackers, and maintaining a tiny size of just 7KB. It is open-source, lightweight, and designed for users who want a clean, distraction-free browsing experience without bloat or privacy concerns. Inspired by a similar Firefox tool, Fullscreen provides straightforward functionality without compromising security or simplicity.

Does exactly what I have been looking for! Every other Chrome extension does not do what this does. Works great on desktop computers and does not advertise you to sign up for a service or display you ads. Great extension!
