So I recently found a wwflash based chat page a local club uses. The page almost fits on my Motorola Milestone, but its a little hard to get to the text box at the bottom of the screen. So I thought the Atrix might be exactly what I need.
However, the text page still is a little large when the android browser address bar is showing. Is there some way to hide that bar???
Ditch the stock browser
Ditch it for what?
This is an add on to Dolphin browser. Install both.
Additionally, you could try this browser. It says it has full screen mode in the options, i have never tried it myself.
I *think* the address bar on the stock browser of my i9505 used to scroll off the top of the screen or "autohide".
Now it just seems stuck there, and it's very annoying. My old S2 definitely used to autohide.
I've checked the box in the browser accessibility settings for 'full screen' but it makes no difference at all.
Does anyone know how to fix this, or is it just the way it is. Phone is unmodified on Three in the UK.
thanks
Hey I had the s3 before and I had a option in settings to get full screen browser with pie controls and I can't find out how to do it on the note 3 is there a way to do so ? Because a full screen browser would make this phone so much better

You can use the AOSP version of the stock browser, in full screen it removes everything and then you can use the quick controls to swipe in from the side of the screen.

Video in that thread shows off what I'm talking about in the later portions.
If you are rooted to can try out this app from the market:

You could try an aftermarket browser too. I have used Dolphin for years and love it. It does fullscreen and you can change User Agent too. No more getting stuck in mobile versions of websites.
I know most people prefer fullscreen browsing. However, I personally find it annoying that i have to swipe down to show the url bar every time I want to switch tabs in chrome. Is it possible to set the url bar to always visible? I checked chrome://flags but didnt find anything, is there any way to do this

actually that's the first thing i did.but it doesn't fix the problem. it only hides the android notification bar, but not the address bar.
Hmm interesting, mine hides the Address bar also.
EDIT: Doesn't FireFox or Opera offer full screen mode? - I have FF but haven't used it for a while

yes I want that, but mine always displays the address bar. let me see if restarting the phone fixes the issue.
edit: nope, restarting didn't fix it. it still shows the address bar. I have tried Chrome, Firefox. I didn't try Opera, let me try that.
It may work, I've noticed with Samsung devices a reboot tends to fix a lot of things that randomly stop working. - Could also vary on which FW you are running also. I use MJ7 and it seems my options vary to some others who also run it which is weird.

yes I also have MJ7.
just like I mentioned above, I did restart the phone but it didn't fix the issue. fullscreen for my browser only means the android bar isn't visible (but the address bar, the one in which you type the URL remains visible).
so I tried other browsers, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Opera Beta.
so far the best results were with Web Browser (Maxthon) which can also hide the address bar, but instead it displays a circle button that doesn't go away. the Note 2's browser was best for what I'm looking for, since it displayed absolutely nothing in fullscreen. no notification bar, no address bar, no nothing, only the webpage. isn't there a way to install Note2's browser on Note 3?

Could always try and find the .apk for the Note 2's browser, would probably have to mess with the current browsers .apk also to disable it. Or extract it from your current Note 2 maybe? --- Not sure why yours won't show full screen though, bit strange.

Start scrolling upwards and it re-appears again, It was the same on my HTC One, which was also on HTC Stock browser.

actually Google Chrome does that, when you scroll downwards the address bar dissapears (but not the notification bar). the other browser note 3 comes with always displays the address bar.

Firefox has a fullscreen addon that hides the address bar, it works great on the Note 3.
