    Just drag the tab out to its own window. Then you can minimize it and Chrome doesn't consider it to be in the background. Random aside: I just noticed that after you drag the Gangn…

    I know there are a million and one people offering arm chair suggestions, but IMO it's about time that HN got sub-forums and moderators. I'd like to see a /startup or similar, mode…

    You're being a bit disingenuous by not mentioning the inbuilt protections that the HTML5 Fullscreen API offers. "Also, any alphanumeric keyboard input while in full-screen mode cau…
