## Review summary

Users praise the add-on for reliably forcing fullscreen and hiding browser chrome, with strong Android support and UI polish. However, recurring issues include fullscreen not persisting during navigation, the toggle button not remembering its position or disappearing, and the control button causing accidental actions. There are repeated requests to allow moving or customizing the toggle button to improve usability.

### Pros

- Works as described / generally reliable across sites
- Forces fullscreen to hide browser UI (e.g., vertical tabs, address bar) for a cleaner fullscreen experience
- Strong Android support / widely used on Android devices
- UI improvements, such as fixing the conspicuous three-line icon after tapping

### Cons

- Fullscreen does not persist when navigating to new links within a site
- Button location does not persist and resets to the right-middle
- Button sometimes disappears when entering fullscreen
- Control button can trigger unintended actions (e.g., playing a video or opening a new tab)
- Frequent requests to allow repositioning or customizing the toggle button/icon
