Deactivate "fullscreen" mode on Chrome for Android

The newest version of Chrome for Android added a quasi fullscreen-mode, which hides the address bar when you scroll up. This has weird effects in my web app, which is mainly controlled by scrolling up and down.

Is there a way to keep the address bar visible (the old way)?

Can you fullscreen Chrome on Android?

Yes, Android users can use Chrome in full-screen mode on their android devices. You can set up the web page you want to open to be viewed in full-screen mode. To do this, you can add the webpage to your home screen and tap on it to open, or double-tap on the webpage to view it in full-screen mode.

The short answer is no. If you feel that this should be a feature then please file a bug on crbug.com/new and let me know. It should have no effect on scrolling as it keeps all the settings and state exactly the same, if you are seeing problems with scrolling such as events not firing then that is due to the way the compositor works.

The reason why not is that this is a feature on all mobile platforms and we have parity with their way of providing the user with more vertical real estate.
