Unfortunately, if you bring your cursor to the top of the screen there's a message (in Firefox) and an X (in Chrome) that inform the user that they are in a full screen webpage.

Run, if Chromium (or Chrome)

    chromium --kiosk <url>
or, similarly for Firefox

    firefox --new-window --kiosk <url>
For Chromium the `--new-window` argument doesn't open in kiosk mode. In order to work no other instance must run.
I am definitely using this on my friend's living room computer. "Linux was acting weird so I installed Windows"
This happens if you press F11. If you click the balloon that says "Start the prank" instead then you won't get this issue, at least in Firefox.
Cannot confirm - it just takes a while to show. You can still press Esc which is what most users might do when panicking.
