I have spent a lot of time reading several approaches about this subject. None of the suggestions seem to work for me though. I would like to make the adress bar of a browser under Android/iPhone etc. disappear to get a native app feeling. At the moment I am trying to make this happen for Android (Chrome). I hoped it would be easy with the new Chrome version because it hides the bar when scrolling. But using window.scrollTo(x,y) just scrolls the page without making the address bar disappear.

I hope anybody can help me.

  • This sounds interesting, but not so many browsers (especially older ones) support it. I sure will give it a thought! – telandor Apr 29 '14 at 07:02
  • I think it will - I think it *should* - give your users a warning aka 'this website is now fullscreen '. – commonpike Apr 29 '14 at 12:48

  • This specifies a startup image, right? This is not quite what I need. I would like to make the browser fullscreen when requesting our website from the server. – telandor Sep 05 '13 at 09:52
