Most applications have a hotkey for entering full-screen in OS X with CmdCtrlF, for others I created a keyboard shortcut for Enter Full Screen and Exit Full Screen in system preferences.

But the 3.0-second animation is extremely annoying!

How can I disable the OS X animation of windows going into full screen mode?

Navigate to:

chrome://flags/

Scroll down to find the one called "Enable simplified full screen" and disable it. Re-launch Chrome and you are finished.

I don't think it's possible, but i would reccomend using TotalSpaces as a replacement of Apple's bad implementation. http://totalspaces.binaryage.com

If you're using OS X Lion try this:

To disable automatic window animations, open Terminal and type the command:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool NO

Found on this site: http://www.chriswrites.com/2012/01/turn-off-animations-eye-candy-effects-in-mac-os-x-lion/

Which has instructions for turning off other animations as well, and a link to 'power toys' like the ones Lorenzo posted in his answer.
