Not surprisingly, IE will baulk at this, hence the if block. It will get Chrome full-screening nicely however.
Consider the following scenario. You are preparing a Selenium script for a responsive site which in places has slightly different CSS selectors for desktop and devices. By hardcoding a value for screen_width, you can view the device HTM in your desktop browser and inspect the differing selectors (for devices) in devtools in the normal fashion.
