Google Chrome with minimal layout without address bar, and without tabs

Is there a way to open tab in Google Chrome/Chromium with minimal layout (without tabs, bars, adress bar) so I can watch youtube videos in small window with borders only? Is there a shortcut to switch between this modes or extension to do that?

Ok. I found one solution to this problem.

1. Go to desire website

2. Open

   Main menu -> More Tools -> Create Shortcut

3. Check "Open as window"

4. Open created shortcut from Desktop (Or created shortcut opens automatically)

Enjoy the website with minimal layout.

If you use linux (but maybe there is a way to start it from command line in other less user friendly OSes), you can start youtube with:

google-chrome-stable --new-window --app=

For the most recent version as of November 2018:

1. Go to Apps,
2. Right-click the desired app
3. Open as window

Enjoy website with minimal layout.

For MacOS it is:

/Applications/Google\ Chrome --new-window --app=

There is some way to make it launch from Launchpad item even with custom icon, but I'd need to google that as well.
