Address and Tabs Bar in full screen mode

[Adam “Zain” Akbar]

To facilitate navigation while in fullscreen mode, I hope there could be an option for the address bar and tab bar to appear when hovered over by the mouse cursor, rather than just displaying a close button. Alternatively, it would be helpful if the address and tab bar would appear when scrolling up the page, similar to how it functions on Google Chrome mobile. I desire this feature because I find it challenging to switch between websites in fullscreen mode, even though keyboard shortcuts are available. I would like something more visually intuitive.

thanks in advance.

Hi Zain!

This sounds like a chrome feature request? This mailing list is focused on web extensions, so it wouldn’t be the best spot to discuss that. I would recommend opening a feature request on crbug.com

Best of luck!

Yes, indeed, this is a request, and I want to express my sincere apologies. I've encountered difficulties in locating the appropriate page to submit my feature request, and I appreciate your guidance on this matter.

To be candid, I've made efforts to create a Chrome extension for the requested feature. However, I'm facing issues with displaying my extension's components on Chrome's error pages, such as 'ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT,' and similar situations. Do you happen to have a solution for this?

By default, you can't run extension code on chrome://* URIs. You can enable it on your device by turning on chrome://flags/#extensions-on-chrome-urls, and requesting host permission chrome://*

Thank you, Patrick, for your enlightening response. That's all I need, you are a lifesaver!, and I really appreciate your guidance.
