This prompt is an important part of the security story for fullscreen. Since a fullscreen web app can hijack your entire browsing session, it's important that the user know that he's entering fullscreen and not looking at an actual browser window -- and to know that every time something goes fullscreen. So if we're going to back off of displaying the prompt every time, we need to be clear that we're assuming that the user can make this distinction.
That honestly seems like a bad deal to me. If the prompt stays up (as Brian mentions), that's a bug and we should fix it. But a 2-3 second box for each fullscreen transition seems like a small price. --Richard On Sat, Aug 15, 2015 at 9:55 AM, Brian Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > IIUC, the reminder is supposed to go away after a few seconds.
