Fill Screen is a Chrome extension designed to resize your current browser window to fill the available screen workspace without entering the maximized (full-screen) mode. This unique functionality allows you to maintain access to window elements like Chrome's tab bar, which can become obscured when other applications, such as Winamp in Windowshade mode, occupy screen edges.

By clicking once, you can toggle your window from a maximized state to a restored state that fills the monitor's available space but still allows interaction with UI elements typically hidden in maximized mode. The extension requires permissions to run content-scripts on specific pages like google.com due to Chrome’s API limitations for accessing the window.screen object. Fill Screen enhances user experience by blending full-screen usability with windowed mode flexibility.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Fill Screen requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
