How do you hide the Address bar in Google Chrome for Chrome Apps?

I want to increase the screen real estate for my Chrome app. The Address Bar is useless in a Chrome App and I was wondering if there was a way to disable it.

You can run Chrome in application mode.

Windows:

Chrome.exe --app=https://google.com

Mac:

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --app=https://google.com

Linux:

google-chrome --app=https://google.com

This removes all toolbars, not just the address bar, but it will definitely increase your real estate without having to use Kiosk mode.

Visit the site you want in Chrome. Click the Chrome menu in your browser toolbar.

• Select "More Tools" > "Create shortcut…"
• Check "Open as window", press "Add"

Once you launch from that shortcut it will be a window without toolbar.

Mac

• CMDControlF goes fullscreen
• CMDShiftF hides the navbar
• also worth noting ... → More Tools → Create Shortcut... creates a standalone Application, just make sure you're logged into the Chrome Profile you want to be active

---

Windows

• F11 (possibly AltEnter too)

Uncheck Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen in View menu:

and go to fullscreen then:

Alt+Cmd+F - on Mac

F11 - on Windows

In the latest version of Chrome (Version 50.0.2661.94 m) you can accomplish this by going to the menu and then clicking -> More Tools -> Add to Desktop. You will then want to check off "Open as Window" in the popup that appears and then click "Add". Screen shots below:

Hitting F11 may work for you.(Full-screen mode)

It appears that the hiding the address bar without going full screen is no longer an option:http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/d7LfleRNX7M

On macs chrome browser:

1st toggle on Full screen:

cmd-ctrl-f

2nd toggle on hide address bar, tabs and all

Just repeat to undo or hover above top

cmd-shift-f

Undo by repeating backwards:

• cmd-shift-f undo hide
• cmd-ctrl-f undo full screen

wanted this done for a 'YouTube Pop-out Player' without Chrome Address / Toolbar or Bookmarks Bar; solution ended up being a small edit of MarkHu's answer (because of new updates, i guess?)

Go to the page you want altered, select Chrome Toolbar's 'Hamburger button' (3 horizontal lines).

From there: More tools > Add to desktop... > Open as window (tick box) > Add (button).

... and, simply open your page from the new desktop shortcut, adjust as needed, and enjoy!

Even though the question is about gaining some space removing the address bar, you can also gain some space by toggling the bookmark bar on and off, using Ctrl + Shift + B, or ⌘ Cmd + Shift + B, in Mac OS.

Instructions as of Dec 2018:

1. Visit the site you want in Chrome
2. From menu select "More tools" > "Create shortcut..."
3. From apps (can visit chrome://apps/), right click site then enable "Open as window"

Now when you open the shortcut it will open in a window without toolbar.

Vivaldi Chromium-based Browser can hide the address bar for my Home Theather PC. Using that app you can show/hide a floating bar with F8 key. Other answers are unrelated to what was asked!

in macOS make service by automator.

that's it. you can assign short cut.

For Chrome on Ubuntu (16.04), F11 is the way to go.
