Question

We have a site, where with a simple JavaScript

We hide the ad

Answer 1

scrollTo(0,1) is not yet supported in Chrome for Android (it was recently added and then removed). We do have the FullScreen API but that is a little heavy handed for what you want to achieve.

Answer 2

I found the way how to hide address bar after first click

if (document.body.webkitRequestFullScreen) {
  window.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
    if (e.target.type != 'text' && e.target.type != 'password') {
      body.webkitRequestFullScreen();
      window.setTimeout(function() {
        document.webkitCancelFullScreen();
      }, 500);
    }
  }, false);
}

Answer 3

Seems that the latest update of Chrome Mobile (July 22) broke the toolbar auto-hide feature. When scrolling down a page, the toolbar no longer auto-hides. This was the case on my Nexus 4.

July 22 update brings full screen mode for tablets. But i guess they accidentally broke the feature for smartphones. Full screen mode was working previously on smartphones.
