"Full Screen Web Browser is a great Safari companion for its cheap 99¢ price."
Already have Full Screen on your iPhone? Make sure to install the Full Screen bookmark. 
How does it work? Simple! Give your iPhone or iPod Touch a shake to bring the buttons and address bar into view, then enter a URL and the control bars will slide out of view for a true full-screen experience. Surf the web exactly like you do in Safari: tap on links, swipe to scroll, double-tap or even pinch and spread your fingers to zoom in or out.
Full screen web browsing
- 25% more viewable area than Safari in portrait mode
- Almost 40% more viewable area than Safari in landscape mode!
- Same web browsing experience as Safari on the iPhone: tap links, scrolling, zooming, etc.
- Back and forward buttons for easy navigation through your session history
Bookmark your favorite webpages for easier navigation. Add, delete, reorder and edit bookmarks just like in Safari. However, unlike Safari, Full Screen even allows you to edit the page address while you are creating the bookmark (which makes it easy to add handy JavaScript bookmarklets). The default bookmarks include a link to our Safari bookmarklet instructions. Use it to send any page you're viewing in Safari to Full Screen Web Browser.

Horizontal/Landscape supportHorizontal mode is fully supported. Rotate your device right or left for larger and easier to read text and larger images. The address and button bars are also available when your device is rotated-just give it a shake!
Private web browsing
Full Screen does not save any history of your activity on the web between sessions. Recent activity is only used for the "back" and "forward" actions. Simply tap the home button and your browsing history is gone.
Complete Safari Integration- Send any web page to Safari whenever you like by tapping the action button and then "Open in Safari"
- Send any web page back to Full Screen from Safari using our custom bookmark.
Have Full Screen load your favorite page when it first launches. Your homepage can be easily set by tapping the action button and then the "Set as Home Page" button while you are on the page. The homepage address can also be set in the iPhone Settings app.
Send a Link
Email anyone a link to a web page by tapping the action button and then "Email Link".
