Each modern browser has a number of flexible settings and useful functions that allow you to use the browser comfortably. One of these settings, introduced a very, very long time ago, is the ability to change the size of the browser window. You can make the browser window fill the entire screen, or you can make the browser in a window that occupies only a certain part of the screen. The window scale can be easily changed: increased and decreased as needed.

Game settings

Using an installable dark theme for Chrome

http-equiv=»Content-Type» content=»text/html;»>yle=»text-align: justify;»>A few years ago, many users actively used Chrome themes from the store. They've seemed to be forgotten lately, but theme support is still here, and Google recently released a new set of "official" themes, including the Just Black theme.

Just Black is not the only dark theme, there are others from third-party developers that can be easily found by searching “Dark” in the “Themes” section. Google Chrome themes can be downloaded from the store at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/themes

When using installed themes, only the appearance of the main browser window and some “embedded pages” changes. Some other elements, such as menus and settings remain unchanged - light.

That's all, I hope the information was useful for some of the readers. By the way, did you know that Chrome has a built-in utility for finding and removing malware and extensions?

How to make a browser fit half the screen

Let's consider another feature that allows you to place a window so that it occupies exactly half of the screen.

To make the browser fit half the screen you need:

Open browser;
Left-click in the bookmarks area of the browser;
Hold down and move the browser window to the left or right side of the screen, as necessary;
After the outline appears, release the mouse.

You can also move the window to the very corner, then it will occupy ¼ of the screen area.

Well, we looked at the basic properties, capabilities and settings for the size of the browser window. Now you know how to minimize the browser to a window or stretch it to fill the entire screen, how to reduce or enlarge the browser window by changing its length and width.

Now let's move on to possible problems.

Signs of engine operation to replace spark plugs

The engine does not start well. If the driver notices that the engine does not start immediately after a long stay, but only the second or third time, then the car lets you know that it is necessary to clean or replace the spark plugs. This is due to a low-power spark between the electrodes of the spark plugs, so the combustible mixture does not ignite completely, or does not ignite at all.
Exhaust gases are black. This indicates a large amount of combustible mixture in the combustion chamber. Due to poor performance of the spark plugs, the spark does not ignite the entire volume of the mixture accumulated in the combustion chamber, so fuel detonation occurs, leading to the appearance of black smoke. Large detonation gradually destroys the surface of the cylinders and pistons.
The motor shakes during operation. If, when driving and accelerating, the driver feels uneven operation of the engine, this means that the piston group is not functioning correctly; some pistons do not create the necessary force on the crankshaft. This occurs due to the fact that the mixture is not ignited in all combustion chambers.
The presence of a large amount of fuel in the catalyst and exhaust system. If you carefully visually inspect the exhaust pipe while the engine is running, drops of water fly out of it. Under normal conditions, condensation always forms, but if liquid comes out of the pipe in significant quantities, this indicates that the fuel is not completely burned. In such a situation, one can assume the formation of a weak spark that is not able to ignite the fuel mixture, or it does not burn completely.
Reduced power. If, while driving, the driver sees that the car is accelerating slowly or moving unevenly, then the engine signals that the spark plugs are not functioning properly.

In such cases, it is necessary to replace spark plugs that have not yet reached their expiration date. You need to know that without the high-quality functioning of the ignition system, the engine will reduce power, and a high temperature will be created inside it, created by a large amount of combustible mixture, which will lead to damage to the piston rings and the penetration of engine oil into the combustion chamber. When the spark plugs reach the end of their service life, they must be replaced.

Solving possible problems

A difficulty that may arise for Yandex Browser users is that the web browser does not respond to actions to switch to full-screen mode. The solution could be:

activating the extension - make sure that the slider on the extension is set to the active position (highlighted in yellow);
contacting the site's technical support - restrictions may be set on the web page that prevent the window from expanding;
reinstalling the web browser - it is possible that Yandex Browser may fail during the download process, in which case you will need to initially completely remove the application from the PC via the Control Panel and re-download the file from the official website;
updating graphics drivers - download the latest version from the official website of the developer of the current diver database.

Some browsers may automatically limit the full screen view of a particular site. For example, in the Mozilla Firefox , using the about:permissions , you can go to the web page settings and check whether it can be deployed.

In Yandex Browser, you can go to the site settings through the lock icon to the left of the search bar, but the “Full screen mode” option is not presented here.

Displaying pages in FullScreen will make watching videos and movies, reading e-books and other work on the Internet much more enjoyable. All attention is focused on the displayed content - no more need to be distracted by third-party widgets and system messages.

Details

By default, when installed, the browser opens for the first time in a small window that takes up about half the screen. To expand it to full screen, just click on the button in the form of a square in the upper right part of the working window (between the “Collapse” and “Close” buttons).

The browser will fill the entire desktop space. The system remembers the last window size and the next time it starts, it opens it in the same form and size as it was before closing. The window size cache is responsible for this function. Clearing this feature will reset all window sizes to their default values.

What does "Full Screen Mode" mean?

A similar feature is full screen mode. The window size increases and all browser navigation elements, toolbar, tabs, bookmarks bar, extensions bar, Windows taskbar are hidden. It can come in handy when you need to slightly increase the size of the main content, or when elements of the navigation menu and toolbars begin to become an eyesore when working with a site for a long time.

Restoring top panels in Yandex Browser

There are several ways to activate full screen mode and expand the program window to full screen. Let's look at them in detail.

Method number 1: Hot keys

Few people know that Yandex.Browser has a set of 15 different hotkey combinations for various purposes. One of them is F11. Pressing this key in the Windows operating system while the web browser is running opens it in full screen mode. MacOS owners also have their own keyboard shortcut. The combination Ctrl + Command + F is responsible for launching the browser in full screen mode.

To exit full-screen viewing, you need to press the same key as to activate it. It's that simple. Well, or on Esc.

Method number 2: Menu

Not all users like to use hotkeys. There are a lot of them and remembering them is not so easy. But the developers have provided for enabling this function from the main menu:

We launch the program and click on the “ Menu ” button (the icon in the form of three horizontal stripes in the upper right part of the window).
In the context menu that opens, next to the scale, click the button in the form of a double-sided arrow.
And we also exit this mode - move the cursor over the correct panel, as soon as it appears, open the menu and click on this button again.
