Author Topic: I discovered a hidden feature in chrome.  (Read 1973 times)

Grab one of your beautiful tabs (preferably the one you're on right now) and drag it to the top of your screen. A weird little folder icon will appear. Let go, and the tab is now fullscreen.


you can also drag those tabs to the left or right sides of your screen to fill up half your screen with one window and the other half with another

bottom of the screen for me.

never mind, browser was already fullscreen derp

My browser is always fullscreen anyways. :()

Was this a secret to all of you? I use it all the time.

A weird little folder icon
BTW it's not a folder. It's an icon of a fullscreen tab.

Every window in Windows 7 does this.

At first I thought you meant it acted like Internet Explorer when you hit f11 and was quite shocked because I didn't know about it.

Yeah, this is a Windows 7 thing, maybe even Vista? I don't know when it was introduced, you can also drag windows to the edge of the screen so if you don't have two monitors multitasking is somewhat easier

No, the default windows snap feature looks loveier than chrome's version.

By the way, not talking about F11 fullscreen, I mean a maximized window.

It's a Windows 7 thing, not Chrome and it's not hidden

Nifty trick, if you press the maximize button you can make all your tabs fullscreen.

You telling me that's the default win7/8 snap feature?
Yeah, no.

It's a chrome thing but if you have windows 7 it's basically useless and ugly
