Firefox & Chrome: For both current versions (at time of post) of Firefox and Chrome in OSX, CMD+ SHIFT+ F invokes a full screen view; FF with the smother transition. Safari: Still no Safari hotkey from what I could find. It would be useful. An easy to convey full screen hotkey for the OS default browser would be nice, and perhaps more importantly, a consistent full screen experience across browsers (wishful thinking).
Web designers: FF leaves a thin gray bar at the top and Chrome doesn't which requires extra attention to page styling details. If you happen to be designing for a full screen specific resolution. For say, a touch screen kiosk web app or custom HTML/JavaScript based presentation. Side note: I don't know when either browser implemented it, but I've been using it for a while now, even if only to filter out the little bit of application window chrome and top menu bar visual noise that OSX normally shows while I'm browsing sites.
For me, another example of a less-is-more preference.
By. 12:00 pm, October 17, 2013. Bringing sexy back. IOS 7 brings a ton of visual and interface changes to our favorite smart phone, not all of them easily intuited from general use. Advertisement One of these is the new fullscreen mobile Safari.
The web browser’s address bar and toolbar (at the bottom) disappears when you’re browsing, and you might have figured out how to bring it back by accident, but not in a systematic way. Nothing sucks the joy out of using a smartphone than not really being sure how to do something, so here are three ways to re-appear that sucker on your iPhone.
How To Show The Full Website Address In Safari For Macbook
The first way to unhide the toolbar and address bar is to tap on the top of the iPhone screen, either in portrait or landscape mode. This will bring you to the top of the web page, and then show you the address bar and toolbar along the bottom. If you don’t want to go to the top of the webpage, though, you can also swipe downwards in the middle of the screen, and let go. Like a short, sharp swipe downwards. If you do it correctly, the toolbar and address bar will appear. The final, and perhaps easiest way to unhide these bits of browser is to simply tap on the bottom of the iPhone screen.
This will bring up the toolbars without moving the webpage, and without having to remember the swipe gesture. All three will work; which you use will be up to your own preference, of course, but at least you can now bring up the address and toolbar without fumbling around, willy-nilly.
