Chrome custom tabs hide address bar

Question

I am developing a widget that customers can integrate into their applications. Their users must authenticate (through OAuth). Therefore, it’s preferable that my customers use custom Chrome tabs so that the user is most likely logged in with an OAuth provider (e.g. Facebook).

Is there a way to hide the address bar for a custom Chrome tab? The URL is not related to the end user.

Answer 1

No, there is no way to hide the address bar. It is imperative that the user can indicate which authority they are talking to when they visit the website, in particular when they authenticate. This will save many users from phishing.
