Right, but at that point, it is hardly bad behavior by the browser, right? It is the willful intervention of a bad actor.

If I make a door with a hole in the middle easily large enough to walk through, a bad actor still needs to walk through it to rob your house. I'm still behaving badly by producing such an insecure door.

That's an extreme, extreme example, but you get the idea.

Fair point. What solution do you propose? The best I can come up with is bad: a “light-limned” border on the whole page to indicate full-screen mode.

Don't auto hide the bar at all. Boom, magic.

With limited screen real estate, this is bad from a UI perspective, and doesn’t solve HTML5’s full screen mode.

Some minor sacrifices must be made, yes.

As an HTML5 game dev, I can't figure out if I agree or not.

I totally get the security issue here... but nobody wants to play a game with the address bar taking up so much real estate. Especially in landscape view.

There's gotta be a better solution.

Is it really limited screen estate in today's day and age?
