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.

Solution

  • 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.
