Google Chrome with minimal layout without address bar, and without tabs

Ok. I found one solution to this problem.

  1. Go to desire website

  2. Open

    Main menu -> More Tools -> Create Shortcut

  3. Check "Open as window"

  4. Open created shortcut from Desktop (Or created shortcut opens automatically)

Enjoy the website with minimal layout.


If you use linux (but maybe there is a way to start it from command line in other less user friendly OSes), you can start youtube with:

google-chrome-stable --new-window --app=https://www.youtube.com

For the most recent version as of November 2018:

  1. Go to Apps,
  2. Right-click the desired app
  3. Open as window

Enjoy website with minimal layout.
