Does anyone know of a way to do "fullscreen" where the screen is the window? It bugs me that to watch a streaming video my options are: box inside their ui which takes up a significant portion of my window real estate, or full screen on my entire monitor. can't I just have "fill window"?

Would Picture-in-Picture (PiP) work for you? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-picture-picture-firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-picture-picture-f...

  Yep, that's awesome, that's a new feature to me, thanks! Though it'd still be nice instead of pressing F11 to achieve full screen if I could press ctrl+F11 and it was "fill window" etc across browsers.

Which UI? Title bar displayed by window manager, not in xmonad by default. URL bar and tabs are not displayed for popup window [1]. Document content is different for each page, youtube embedded videos can be opened in new tab/window/popup by right click on title, resulting URL https://www.youtube.com/embed/xxxxxxxxxxx https://www.youtube.com/embed/xxxxxxxxxxx Unfortunately at least in chromium <video> has only "Open video in new tab" and even than it does not fill available space.

  > Which UI Just a few examples but Youtube, Vimeo, and Twitch have a lot of noise (comments, chat, suggestions to watch next, etc) around the default video before it's maximized. But if you press F11 that all disappears. Didn't know about the embed link for YT, that's handy, same for the Chrome extension. I just generally don't know why this isn't a standard feature by now. Surely I'm not in the minority here.
