OK, so I'm being sloppy about what I call "the browser".
Do you know of a window manager that doesn't provide a button
to expand a normal window to fill the screen?

I have, in the past, provided a button to "set favorite view", that
restores the window size/location and certain CSS settings that the
visitor has previously saved. I don't see any harm in allowing the
option of choosing the author's favorites, instead.
