The dock disappears in Google Chrome. I want it to stay visible. It stays visible in Safari, but I don't use Safari. I want it visible at all times. In the System Preferences, I have "unchecked" the auto-hide feature (which is why, except for Google Chrome) the dock is visible - but I need it visible in Google Chrome as sometimes the dock is not responsive to moving the cursor at the bottom of the page. Please help.
MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.3)
For the same reasons as you, I like having dock available all the time (menu bar too). So for last 2 hours been trying to figure this problem out myself--tried lots and stuff and nothing worked. UNTIL I stumbled upon this fix.
With chrome open to a webpage
Click on "green" round button
Page should become smaller
Now move cursor down to the side of website page
Double headed arrow should appear
Use arrow to drag and expand page
do this on both sides of page
This should allow you to have the page at what I call "full" size (not what mac calls full page), but still have dock and menu bar present.
Hope this helps. Don't meant to be overly pedantic with my instructions, but want to make sure you understand what I'm saying.

The Dock disappears whenever a an application is used in full screen.
If you do not see the menu bar atop your chrome browser (or any other application), you are running in full screen mode.
To get out of it, move your cursor to the top, so the menu bar appears; then click the green button.
Edit: and, if you don't mind my asking, why do you want the Dock visible at all times? You know that you can make it appear as needed just by moving the cursor there, don't you?
I have just told you how, but I will repeat myself: in fullscreen mode, you do not see the MENU BAR: Apple, File, Edit, View, etc.
Fullscreen Safari (I don't have Chrome, but this is the same for ANY application): at the very top of your screen you see the top of your window:
NONFullscreen Safari (again, like any other): you see the Menu Bar (your may be whitish with dark text instead; I am using the "Dark" mode)
When you are in Fullscreen, move your cursor to the very top, and THEN the menu bar appears; and so do buttons on the top left of your window. Click the GREEN button to get out of Fullscreen mode.
How do I check if I am in FULL SCREEN mode? I "DO" see my [Apps/Bookmarks/Etc] at the top of the screen. It is the MAC DOCK at the bottom of the page that is disappearing - even though I have unchecked in the System Preferences/Dock - for it to REMAIN VISIBLE. It does - except when I'm in Chrome - which is basically all day. To answer your question about why I want it visible at all times is because the cursor doesn't always bring it up - and I have to juggle it up and down to do it every time. It slows me down - I need immediate access.
The above bar is not the issue. I do see File, Edit, all my bookmarks, etc. the problem is the Dock at the bottom of the screen disappearing in Google Chrome when it remains open for everything else. In Google Chrome it hides even though in the MacOS Sierra settings I have it unchecked to stay visible.
Double click on green dot it goes into full screen mode and top menu bar icons & dock disappear .
To , bring the screen in normal mode , move your cursor toward extreme top the menu bar with green dot is shown , click on the green dot .

Correction: Chrome is in Full Screen, you're not. 😎
is it because chrome is set to fullscreen maybe ?
I don't know where the "fullscreen" setting is in Google Chrome.
Can you post a screenshot? Thanks.
The dock disappears actually on both. I just want the Mac dock to stay visible, not disappear.

click on the green circle in the left upper corner next to the red and yellow circle
