Full Screen Button

Easily switch to full-screen view from toolbar!

The Full Screen Button Chrome extension offers a simple and effective way to toggle your current tab into full-screen mode directly from your browser's toolbar. Designed for convenience, it enhances your browsing experience by letting you quickly maximize the entire tab without navigating through menus.

Beyond tab maximizing, the extension features an option to specifically maximize the active video element if it's playing, providing a focused viewing experience for media content. Users can activate this function using keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Shift+F) or configure settings on the options page to suit their preferences. For any feature requests or bug reports, users can access the add-on's homepage at https://mybrowseraddon.com/fullscreen-button.html.

works great for me

Great app! Is there any way to keep it in full screen mode when using an auto refresh extension as well?

Precisely what I wanted, and it just works. Lets you gets the maximum of your screen real estate by hiding the the tab/toolbar/bookmark/etc ui without rescaling anything either. Works in Brave as of the date of this review.
