Google Chrome
To launch Chrome, run:
$ ch <location>
Firefox
To launch Firefox, run:
$ ff <location>
Safari

Launch anything in full-screen
Run the command ccf
(an applescript which sends the CMD+CTRL+f keystroke to the active application) following a regular open
to switch it to full-screen mode:
$ open -a Calendar && ccf
Should an app have an additional full-screen mode shortcutted by CMD+Shift+f (as Chrome does), use:
$ open -a "Google Chrome" && csf
Tip. If an app is slow to load, give it chance to load fully by inserting a pause before running the keyboard shortcut:
$ ff http://www.rt.com && sleep 3 && csf
