### What specific section or headline is this issue about?
[#things_your_users_want_to_know](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fullscreen_API/Guide#things_your_users_want_to_know)
### What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
> In addition, navigating to another page, changing tabs, or switching to another application (using, for example, Alt-Tab) while in fullscreen mode exits fullscreen mode as well.
### What did you expect to see?
No mention of exiting fullscreen when using Alt-Tab because that is complete false info when using a multi-desktop environment like Linux where you can have multiple apps in fullscreen on their own desktops.
### Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?
See my taskbar with multiple Desktops, 2 activities with 3 desktops each, for a total of 6 independent desktops:

### Do you have anything more you want to share?
I make frequent use of webpages, games, and apps in fullscreen on their own desktops and switch between them as wanted without leaving fullscreen mode of them.
