Or you could just push F11... I get the feeling it's intended more for presenting than for actual browsing.

I actually use this on a daily basis and I must say it leaves something to be desired. It isn't stable and for whatever reason it'll often just drop external styling until reloaded.

<i>"Al Gore invented the internet, that was pretty cool, thanks Al. Steve Jobs invented the Cinema Display, boy did he make my internet look good. The real question is, how the hell did I make it this long without browsing icanhascheezburger in full screen glory? Thanks Barbarians, this is how it should be. – Josh Spear, founding partner, Undercurrent"</i><p>This has to be ironic, but why in the world would they post it?

The Kiosk mode sounded really useful. Unfortunately it's quite easy to get out of it without a password if you know the ⌘/ shortcut: ⌘/ then ⌘^Esc.

Pretty decent to use but may check out some of the other suggestions on here - bookmark organization leaves something to be desired, there's no auto complete of addresses, and given the keyboard centric navigation model, it would be nice to have keys to switch between windows vs. doing cmd-t then needing a mouse to choose a new window.

If I remember correctly that's what pg used at Startup School to play his (of course) 280Slides presentation. I looked it up afterwards.<p>I didn't know that Chrome had a fullscreen option. Makes Plainview less useful, though I like their super minimalistic approach.

Vimperator gives a nice full screen experience, and good keybindings too. <a href="http://vimperator.org/screenshots/vimperator_hints.png" rel="nofollow">http://vimperator.org/screenshots/vimperator_hints.png</a>

I wish something like that existed for Windows.

i am using it now. It is kinda buggy, but it is really dope. I love how it blurrs out everything else when you get a popup
