This doesn't work for Vivaldi for some reason. I get a dark grey screen, text says "Press esc to exit full screen mode" for a few seconds, then that disappears leaving just the dark grey. No matter which colour I select in the app. Seems like a weird thing not to work in a usually pretty good browser but I'm not sure exactly what this is using.
Works fine for me on Vivaldi. I get the "Press esc to exit full screen mode" message but see the colours just fine.
Ctrl+L data:text/html, Enter F11 Lately I had been thinking that task _"fill your screen with colour X (really fast)"_ would make a nice (ugly) interview question, revealing creativity and exploring different approaches. For maximum points I'd expect candidate given task "fill your screen with black" to simply turn it off.
paint.exe fill tool, black F11
function allscreen(){
if (iOS) {
if (!vid) {
let e = document.createElement('video');
e.src = color.substring(1) + '.mp4?v=2';

I never understood the point of interview questions like this. Like, really? You're going to ask another adult to fill a screen with black and expect them to turn it off? Why??

Making your screen all black saves energy. For many monitors this is not true. For a screen where the resting state of the LCD pixels are open displaying black means the monitor has to switch the diffuser to closed in order to block the light, which uses more energy than displaying white. There are lots of different LCD technologies which affect whether black or white is more efficient. For CRT screens black is alway…

Doesn't always work, but good enough.
(OTOH, if the interviewer has no idea why they're asking this, and they're just blindly checking off boxes from "The Greatest Checkbox List For Interviewers (tm)", it will fail like any other tool wielded by a clueless user. A very specific failure mode here is "THE BOOK has The One True Solution, and I'm expecting you to read my mind and choose this.")
