Don't show "you've gone full screen" UI for sites running in standalone mode

Project Member Reported by owe...@chromium.org, Mar 22 2016

Issue description

It just struck me that we may want to stop showing "example.com is now full screen" for sites already running in standalone mode (from home screen shortcuts)

Reasoning:
1) the UI we show letting users know they've gone fullscreen is very unpopular
2) we do it to prevent phishing attacks
3) standalone sites are already running without the origin visible and I don't think the fullscreen UI provides any protection in this case
4) we should skip showing the "example.com is now full screen" UI for sites running in standalone mode
5) ???
6) PROFIT

Do you object to the old UI or the new UI?

Comment 2 by owe...@chromium.org, Mar 26 2016

I'm assuming the "new UI" is what's currently in M51, which shows an infobar "example.com is now full screen. [exit full screen] [allow]".

If so then yes that's what I'm referring to - I don't think it buys us any security and we can probably remove it.

If not, then can you please share a screenshot/mock of the new flow?
I think you're looking at the old UI. If you go to chrome://flags and enable "simplified fullscreen UI", that removes the infobar entirely for all sites going to fullscreen for the reasons you give. I'm not sure off the top of my head when it's scheduled to be launched, but it's in the very near future. :)

Woo, the new UI is exactly what I'd hope for - I can't wait for it to ship. 

What can I say - I'm lucky enough to work with people that are always two steps ahead of me!

Marking fixed.
