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

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.
