Fullscreen Plus is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing experience by allowing you to view websites in full screen mode without the distraction of the address and tabs bar. Simply press Ctrl+Shift+F to toggle fullscreen, making your content the focal point.

Please note that even on Mac, the shortcut is Control+Shift+F, not Command. The extension requires content script permissions, which means it will ask for site data access to function properly. Also, due to web extension limitations, it doesn't function on addons.mozilla.org. The source code for Fullscreen Plus is publicly available, promoting transparency and trust.

User reviews

Fullscreen Plus aims to improve the full-screen experience by removing toolbars and distractions, which many users find beneficial especially for reducing migraines. However, it requires manual configuration, specifically setting 'full-screen-api.allow-trusted-requests-only' to false in about:config, which is not clearly communicated and causes confusion. Its performance varies across platforms and websites, with keyboard shortcuts sometimes failing. Despite being effective when configured properly, the add-on seems abandoned with no recent updates, leading to compatibility issues on newer systems.

Pros

Effectively removes toolbar pop-ups during full-screen mode, reducing distractions and discomfort like migraines.
Provides a better full-screen experience than Firefox's default behavior.
Works on macOS and various versions when correctly configured.
Circumvents some of Mozilla's default full-screen handling limitations.
Users appreciate the improvement in usability once setup is correct.

Cons

Requires manual change in 'about:config' setting 'full-screen-api.allow-trusted-requests-only' to false for it to work, which may be non-intuitive for many users.
Does not work out of the box; many users are unaware of or unwilling to apply required configuration changes.
Inconsistent behavior: works on some sites but may fail or act unexpectedly on others (e.g., YouTube Music).
On some systems, keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+Shift+F do not work as expected or at all.
Apparent abandonment by the developer, resulting in lack of updates and support. Potential incompatibility with newer Firefox versions or macOS releases.
