Summary
I built this for personal purposes, since there was no way to escape full screen on my Windows tablet unless I connected my keyboard or a mouse. It is a very simple add-on: a content script looking for touchstart and touchend Javascript events and a background script to actually make the window in focus maximized (title bar visible)
