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.

Hi,
I remember i could go full screen (hide the address bar) with S3 but it dont see any option to do so in S4 browser.
Any one know if its hidden somewhere or samsung removed it?
I really like the air gesture so would like to stick to samsung browser but its annoying to have the bar eating up the space....

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.

Use Dolphin. ..works perfect!

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

Is there any way show the notification panel by swiping from the bottom of the screen instead of the top(default)?
basically is there anything that will allow me to view the expanded notification panel without having to pull down from the status bar?
You haven't gotten any responses because it isn't possible. End of story. New to Android?

Nah but upgrading from a galaxy s4 that has been on 4.4 for 3 years(custom rom) With the new galaxy, its harder to reach the status bar when using one hand.
I agree with you with this one... The navigation bar is a bit of a pain to reach, Although pinning apps to edge bar seems to work OK for me.

then use the one hand operation to make it easier. that's what it is there for. tap the home button three times. that will make the screen smaller, and easy for one hand operation. if you don't have it setup, then go into settings, and advanced settings.
You should try the notification edge panel I bought it straight away then i realised I could of bought the edge notification panel from playstore with the reward app I had.
No way to move the notification pull down itself, but using Nova Launcher Prime (the pay version), you can set up a screen gesture to open the notification shade. You can assign to a downward swipe (starting anywhere on the screen), or a double tap, or other options. Unfortunately, I think this only works from the home page, not from within another app.

Yup. best answer!
I've been using this for years. Still not the same as having a smaller phone though.
Swipe down for notifications, swipe up to sleep.

I should have posted an update but found a work around.
Using All In One Gestures app, I can swipe up from the home button and it will expand the notification panel. This works in any app unlike the Nova option.
Hi, you can use fooView, it allows to expand notification just pulling down the floating icon down, and other actions like back, home, recent, etc. with just one hand.

Found this on Reddit. Dunno if the user is on XDA. But I'll post this for them anyways. Im interested as well.
https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/9wi0sl/6t_anyway_to_make_apps_ignore_the_teardrop_notch/
How to enable FULL immersive mode (no status bar) and not have a black bar as a replacement?
When I had the Essential Phone, I was able to whitelist any app to disregard the existence of the notch and pretend like it wasn't there.
Take a look here: https://youtu.be/NLnMXtxz4f8
And here: https://www.xda-developers.com/essential-phone-force-apps-fill-screen/
I ran an adb script to remove the status bar, but that only places a black bar where the status bar would be.
A modification like what the Essential Phone has would be great since the teardrop notch is so minimal that it should not have any negative impact on FULL SCREEN apps (unlock the pixel 3xl *coughs) .
There's a setting under 'Display', 'App display in fullscreen' where you can choose the apps you want to display full screen.. Is this what you're looking for?

I think you're correct. Only problem is that a lot of apps do not show up in this setting. Youtube and Gmail for one. And it's not just Google apps, either.
Another problem I've ran into when trying to do this is lag/jitter when scrolling when immersive mode is turned on. If I turn immersive mode off and reboot the phone the lag is gone and the phone is buttery smooth. If I turn immersive mode back on, the lag is immediately back. Any ideas why this might be?
The Samsung browser beta had a new Update with infinity screen fullscreen mode. Anyone with a bote 10 or 20can confirm this and send me a pictrue of it? (really fullscreen or ist the place where the punchhole is black)...

Its real really full screen as far as I can tell
The very top of my screen is the Twitter bar. The punch hole is centered on that but obviously the screen cap won't capture it so I drew it.

You could also use Monument Browser which has had the same feature for a while, has a desktop application for windows and has a lot of features that are difficult to find. However it's a nice step for the Samsung Browser
most of the browser will make a black broder where the punchole/notch ist, so this is nice
This is an irregular practice, yet it makes the telephone simpler to deal with, while keeping that Infinity show looking sharp.

This doesn't work with all apps. If the app has the capability the OS won't Force the status bar, otherwise the apps will continue to performance like they have before. Most apps don't support a full immersive mode because in previous versions of Android it was built into the OS and apps didn't have to support it.
Edit: I should rephrase that because I'm not taking into account the knotch area that didn't exist when immersive mode hit android. It seems immersive mode ignores that.

This is what i mean... The statusbar becomes a black border and the screeb behaves like before so no more screen area to use
Samsung browser beta just became my default browser again. Wish edge would implement this. I was pissed when they removed it so now I'm a happy camper that they've returned the feature.
