Why "chromless" and not just "Full screen"? The latter is what that mode has been known by for decades? Or is it a subtle distinction that "Full screen" mode can show the location bar by moving the mouse to that edge of the screen (at least in Firefox 55), while "chromless" never lets you see the location bar?
- maggit 9y agoThose are two orthogonal concerns. A (theoretical) browser in full screen mode might or might not display UI elements/browser chrome. A windowed browser might or might not display browser chrome. A chromeless windowed browser would look something like QuickTime in macOS, if that helps you; the window consists entirely of the playing video until you mouse over it.
