I want to put my Chrome browser in fullscreen mode without having to scroll down first.
Is it possible? Alternatively, are there any browsers that have this feature?
If it matters, my device is a Samsung Galaxy Tab E, Android 4.4.2. Not rooted.

That works on lineageOS, but last time I told someone to looks here, they said their phone didn't have it.
There is a great article in How-To Geek on how to force that for any app with Chrome as sample. It's difficult for non-technical people though.
The approach is to execute a command from a connected computer to put chrome on a "full-screen state". You must connect the tablet via USB-Cable to the PC. I paste the steps for accessibility here:
This is the command to be executed from the connected PC:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=com.android.chrome
Detailed instructions can be found in the source article.
It's not possible with Chrome, at least not in current point in time.
Since you said another browser with that feature will also help:
There were comments (thanks) about the fact that it's really outdated, and probably has some security issues, so it's not really recommended.
From the app page:
Web browser that allows for full screen viewing. Used in many kiosk applications and similar products.
- Hide or dim navigation bar (Home, Back etc).
- Hide Action bar.
- Hide status bar.
Support for desktop and mobile versions of web pages.
