How to Hide Tab Bars
The tab bars in an Internet browser indicate separate sites within the browser and are used to organize open pages rather than have multiple windows open. While these tabs help navigate between different sites, they also decrease the amount of available space within the Internet browser. To restore screen space in the browser, hide the tabs, which temporarily removes the tabs menu from the browser but does not close them while in full-screen mode.
