Should you use fullscreen in 2026?

screenfull.js is a simple, dependency free wrapper for cross-browser usage of the JavaScript Fullscreen API.

A jQuery plugin is available which contains an optional fallback to a minimal-chrome browser window when the Full Screen API is unavailable. Use as a progressive enhancement for those select browsers only.
