Full-screen mode in Google Chrome offers a minimalistic approach that eliminates almost all distractions while you read an article or try to work online. Become the productivity guru you always wanted to be by removing tabs, navigation buttons, extensions dock, and Omnibox.

How to Activate Full-screen Mode
Fire up Chrome, and then navigate to a web page that you want to visit in full-screen mode. Click the menu button, and then click on the full-screen mode icon (the empty square) located next to Zoom mode about halfway down the menu. Alternatively, press the F11 key on your keyboard to activate full-screen mode (if you’re using a Chromebook, look for the key that looks just like the icon represented in the menu).
What you get is a view of the web page without the elements of Chrome that can quickly advert your attention to less important things.
Full-screen mode is excellent for staying on one website, and it lets you traverse the internet with direct links only. If you want to visit another website via the Omnibox, you have to exit full-screen mode.
