How to hide the top bar or title bar in Google Chrome and Chromium

The top bar in Google Chrome and Chromium browsers, also known as the title bar, occupies space that could otherwise be used for displaying web content. This bar contains the browser's name, tab title, and window control buttons. For users who prefer to maximize the browser's usable screen space, disabling this top bar can help.

Both Chrome and Chromium provide an option to hide the system title bar and borders. When this option is disabled, the window controls (minimize, maximize, and close) are integrated into the browser’s tab strip. This change removes the extra visual clutter of the title bar, giving you more room for tabs and web content.

By disabling the top bar, you can create a cleaner and more focused browsing experience. This adjustment is especially helpful for users managing multiple tabs or working on small screens. Removing the title bar does not affect the browser's functionality, but it does make the interface more efficient for certain use cases.

1. Open Google Chrome or Chromium.
2. Open the Settings page by going to chrome://settings at the location bar.
3. Scroll down to the Appearance section or by clicking on the sidebar menu.
4. Toggle the switch for Use system title bar and borders option to no longer show the Chromium's title bar.
