Bug Description
Fullscreen support just landed in webbrowser-app (see bug #1308947).
The current implementation assumes websites are well-behaved and provide a button or any other user-friendly way of exiting fullscreen (video players usually provide a button for this, see e.g. youtube).
If the website doesn’t provide such a functionality, then the user can end up trapped in fullscreen mode with no way to get back to a windowed state and access the chrome. When that happens, the only "fix" is to close the browser app, thus closing all open tabs.
The issue can be observed by browsing to http://
We need designs for the fullscreen mode, with at the very least a button or gesture to exit it.
