Fullscreen Browser [closed]

I'm looking for a fullscreen browser for linux. It doesn't have to have any controls. It suffices if I can control the page on startup by passing a commandline argument.

If possible, I'd like to avoid any toolkits (like GTK).

There is no interaction needed. The website updates itself automatically.

Solution 1:

None of the browsers are particularly lightweight anymore due to the increasing number of formats and protocols they must support.

Chromium seems pretty self-contained though, and you can launch in full screen with the kiosk switch:

chromium --kiosk <url>

Solution 2:

I'd consider midori to be a very lightweight browser which you can start in fullscreen mode like this:

midori -e Fullscreen

Passing the URL as an argument is a bit of a hassle so I decided to configure it as the start page and show that each time the browser gets started.
