Re: Google BrowserActually, sites were able to do this a lot back in the pre-tabs days. For example:
myWindow = window.open("somepage.html", "WindowName", "fullscreen=yes,menubar=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,titlebar=no,toolbar=no");
This would open a new browser window that takes up the entire screen without the menu bar, status bar, title bar, or toolbar (back/forward buttons, etc). It wouldn't be able to be resized and there would be no scrollbars.
It was only relatively recently that browsers included controls to allow the users to prohibit these actions from being taken. (FireFox, was the first browser that I remember including these, though I don't know when/if Opera included them.)
