Google Chrome ?

I have been using Google Chrome now for a while, and, I do like it but can't get it to open a new page in full size.
Should be a simple solution but I can not find it, I even "Goggled" it but found nothing helpful.
Any ideas?

Thanks

When this happens in Internet Explorer....
You press and hold the CTRL key
Drag the new window to the size you want
While still holding the CTRL key you close the first browser window and then the second one.

Then you test to see if it helped.

Another way to accomplish full size with IE that may work for GC is: Open GC and expand to full size. Open a second window and expand this one also. Now, close the first window you opened; then close the second. Open GC again and see if you get full size.

That is a problem that Google has not fixed. I don't know why, but they wont. Only the first window will be full screened automaticly. You can do as panama said, it used to work, but doesn't seem to work on the newest version though :S

The good news is you did not have to pay for a faulty version.

Have you noticed the vast majority of the versions of Chrome are Beta versions? They are not expected to work 100%. It's called being a full time guinea pig with tenure.

Older (beta) versions of Chrome that might work....
Download Google Chrome 12.0.725.0 Beta - FileHippo.com

If you get fed up with it then try this...
http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/

Or this...
http://www.filehippo.com/download_opera/

Or if mediocrity and mundanes has always been good enough...
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/i...oducts/ie/home
