Chromium is the only browser that truly works in fullscreen mode without too much hackiness.
Unfortunately it's not in Raspbian's default repos so you'll need to download the .deb
files and install them yourself using sudo dpkg -i <package-name>
.
To start the browser on startup in fullscreen mode, add the following line to /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
.
@chromium-browser --noerrdialogs --kiosk --incognito https://google.com
Install unclutter sudo apt-get install unclutter
and add the following line to /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
.
@unclutter -idle 0.1 -root' into /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
