That's not supported by browsers for security reasons. There is, however, a dirty workaround. Create a seamless iframe that fills the screen and navigate to the page in that instead.
`js
import screenfull from 'screenfull';
document.querySelector('#new-page-button').addEventListener(() => {
const iframe = document.createElement('iframe')
iframe.setAttribute('id', 'external-iframe');
iframe.setAttribute('src', 'https://new-page-website.com');
iframe.setAttribute('frameborder', 'no');
iframe.style.position = 'absolute';
iframe.style.top = '0';
iframe.style.right = '0';
iframe.style.bottom = '0';
iframe.style.left = '0';
iframe.style.width = '100%';
iframe.style.height = '100%';
document.body.prepend(iframe);
document.body.style.overflow = 'hidden';
});
