This depends on if you have chosen to have the search box visible or not by adjusting the Windows settings. 2) When you are in incognito mode, a new browser window appears. When you are in normal mode, a new tab appears. So, it doesn't work in incognito mode. Happy surfing. BTW, two things:

Into the search box, right above the start button, type the Internet address, including http:// (e.g., type 'http://google.com'), and hit enter. That should bring you right to the site without interrupting your full screen experience. All the other keyboard shortcuts work in full screen mode. For me, its a perfect substitute, except I can't make use of the multi-functional Chrome address bar. Happy surfing!

I like full-screen and theres shortcuts for moving between tabs and the bookmarks, but with this I can use fullscreen more efficiently.

Why have anything except the page content displayed when reading? Exit full screen mode to do your navigation.
