Hiding the address bar in Google Chrome is not a feature supported by the browser itself. However, there are a few workarounds you can try to achieve a full-screen appearance:
- Using Presentation Mode:
- Open Google Chrome and navigate to the website you want to view in full-screen mode.
- Press F11 on your keyboard to enter Chrome’s full-screen mode. This will hide the address bar and other browser elements.
- If you want to hide the taskbar as well, you can press the Windows key + Shift + Enter to activate the Windows Presentation Mode, which will further maximize the window.
- Using Kiosk Mode:
- Right-click on the Google Chrome shortcut/icon and select “Properties.”
- In the “Target” field, add the following command at the end of the target path:
--kiosk "http://example.com"
Replace “http://example.com” with the URL of the website you want to open in kiosk mode.
- Click “Apply” and then “OK” to save the changes.
- Double-click the modified shortcut/icon to launch Chrome in kiosk mode, which will display the website without any browser controls, including the address bar.
It’s important to note that both methods mentioned above will restrict navigation to a single website and may not provide the same browsing experience as the regular browser mode. Additionally, these methods are specific to Google Chrome and may not work in other browsers.
Remember to use these methods responsibly and ensure that you have proper authorization to modify browser settings or restrict user interaction if you plan to use them in public or shared environments.
