Description

The Full Screen extension adds a button to your Chrome toolbar and an entry to the right-click context menu, enabling you to toggle full-screen mode with a single mouse click. This is particularly useful on devices without a dedicated F11 key or when using a browser on a TV or tablet where keyboard shortcuts are not available. The extension replicates the functionality of the F11 key (or fn+F on Mac) without requiring any special permissions to access your data or websites.

Features

  • Toolbar Button: A clickable icon appears in the Chrome toolbar. Clicking it immediately toggles full-screen mode on or off. This is helpful when you want to quickly maximize viewing space for videos, presentations, or reading without reaching for the keyboard.
  • Context Menu Entry: Right-clicking anywhere on a webpage shows an option to enter or exit full screen. This is especially valuable when already in full-screen mode, as the toolbar is hidden; the context menu provides a way to exit full screen using only the mouse.
  • Customizable Icon: Through the options page (accessible by right-clicking the extension icon and selecting "Options"), you can change the color of the toolbar icon to match your Chrome theme or personal preference. You can also upload a custom icon image, giving you full control over the appearance.
  • Lightweight Permissions: The extension only requests two permissions: "contextMenu" to add the right-click option, and "storage" to remember your chosen icon. It does not read or modify any website data, ensuring your privacy is fully protected.

In summary, Full Screen is a minimal, focused tool that solves a specific problem: enabling full-screen toggling via mouse interaction. It is ideal for users who rely on mouse navigation, use browsers on non-standard devices, or simply prefer clicking over keyboard shortcuts. The extension's simplicity means it loads quickly and does not interfere with other browser functions.
