How to hide top bar on Chrome and Chromium
The title of a web page is displayed in two places: the system's title bar and the browser's tab bar. By default, Chromium installations on Ubuntu and most other Linux distributions show both the title bar and the tab bar, while Google Chrome only displays the tab bar. If you're looking to save some screen space, it's possible to configure Chromium to only display the tab bar, just like Google Chrome.
This guide works for both Google Chrome and Chromium, though it's mostly required for Chromium users. The option to hide the system's title bar is available in the browser's Settings page.
Steps to hide title bar for Chromium web browser:
- Open Chromium's Settings page by going to chrome://settings at the location bar.
- Scroll down to the Appearance section or by clicking on the sidebar menu.
- Toggle the switch for Use system title bar and borders option to no longer show the Chromium's title bar.
