Interesting idea. Unfortunately, it works only as long as oneself or the
authors of the resources navigated to are not running a general frame
breaker. So that would need to be adapted to recognize the iframe that
one wants, and there is no remedy for when you navigate to other sites.
I am at a loss to see the logic in the decision-making process of browser
vendors here. The fullscreen mode cannot be enabled without user
interaction either way (“Failed to execute 'requestFullScreen' on 'Element':
API can only be initiated by a user gesture.”), and if the user is enabling
fullscreen mode without script involvement using e.g. the F11 key, the
browser window *stays* in fullscreen mode until the user disables it *even
when navigating*. Why can it not just stay in fullscreen mode as well if
enabling the mode is scripted? It’s a bug, not a feature.
