    It also works in Safari 5, surprisingly enough, with ESC to exit fullscreen mode.

    I wonder how difficult it'd be to build a fullscreen browser replacement and have it load automatically. The fake browser could mimic real browser actions and easily mask the url (and all of the browser chrome, for that matter) and inject their own content when a user navigates to an interesting site. All the normal "safe" markers (e.g. green URL bar, security lock on the bottom right, the correct URL) could be shown to the user.

    Hmm....

    Surprised that escape doesn't work to exit fullscreen.

    Don't work on my Kubuntu (Chromium 13.0.782.215 (Build 97094 Linux) Ubuntu 11.04 ).

    Nothing happens when I click the button.

    EDIT: on Firefox too.

    This is great news for HTML5 game developers!

    To undo fullscreen in Chrome:

    * Command/Shift/F

    or

    * Command/, (going into Preferences disables it)

    Hey that Gamepad API reads promising.

    When is there ever going to be a download API?
