First off can I say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this extension. Just installed from the chrome store on my phone on Kiwi browser and it works *flawlessly* - massive props. I'm never using the youtube app ever again!

I've a suggestion for expanding the extension - add a list of websites to go full screen automatically on. This would allow you to launch a website from the homescreen with a browser shortcut, and enjoy it in glorious fullscreen straight away. Shouldn't be too big of an addition either.

Thank you for your appreciation!

Automatic fullscreen sounds like an awesome idea.
I did some investigation about this idea, and here are my findings:

  1. I always use the back key to go back previous web page.
    While in fullscreen mode, back causes fullscreen mode exit.
    It is hard/(maybe impossible) to override this behavior.
  2. A web technology called PWA (Progressive Web Apps) is exactly what your idea pursues.
    I've tried to use several PWAs.
    They are all fullscreened, like native apps.
    And the back key works great.

I wonder if is it possible to convert an arbitrary web page to PWA by Chrome extension.
I'd like to investigate more about PWA.

Thank you again for your awesome feedback!
