Interesting idea.  Unfortunately, it works only as long as oneself or the 
authors of the resources navigated to are not running a general frame 
breaker.  So that would need to be adapted to recognize the iframe that
one wants, and there is no remedy for when you navigate to other sites.

I am at a loss to see the logic in the decision-making process of browser 
vendors here.  The fullscreen mode cannot be enabled without user 
interaction either way (“Failed to execute 'requestFullScreen' on 'Element': 
API can only be initiated by a user gesture.”), and if the user is enabling 
fullscreen mode without script involvement using e.g. the F11 key, the 
browser window *stays* in fullscreen mode until the user disables it *even 
when navigating*.  Why can it not just stay in fullscreen mode as well if 
enabling the mode is scripted?  It’s a bug, not a feature.
