Android - Force browser to hide nav & tab bar
Sadly Google Chrome and other browsers don't have a feature to hide the url bar and tab bar. One alternative is the app Full Screen Browser. Its features are:
- Web browser that allows for full screen viewing.
- Hide or dim navigation bar (Home, Back etc).
- Hide action/status bar
I am using Fully Kiosk Browser to read books on https://openlibrary.org
It works great. Key features:
- Immersive mode from the start
- Ability to choose screen orientation without having to enable rotation system wide. I like reading in landscape. There is also reverse landscape.
- Home screen shortcut for the website (library or book in my case) so that we can quickly jump into reading.
- No ads or any other nonsense
