Looks like a file:// origins can just enter full screen without displaying the "Always allow / Exit fullscreen" prompt. A "This page is now fullscreen" prompt appears for a short while and then slides out of the screen. If the page can synthesize or just hang on a user gesture for a long time, it can enter fullscreen without the user noticing. <html> <button id="btn">enter fullscreen</button> <script> document.getElementById('btn').onclick = function() { document.body.webkitRequestFullscreen(function(){}); } </script> </html>
