FOR SOME REASON, THOUGH, BEING IN FULLSCREEN MAKES ME FEEL MORE OUT OF CONTROL WHEN THINGS START TO GO WRONG. BUT HEY, IT’S THE INTERNET. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
When Chrome came out I was happy because it is a browser that is by default, pretty slim up the top there with all of the navigation bits and tab bar stuff. I have a smallish laptop with a small resolution so it’s important to me that I use every pixel I have at my disposal.
I get annoyed at OSX how there is always that little line down the bottom of an application where you can see the desktop or the windows underneath the current application.
The other day I was reading Gratis Recoup or something and needed to see everything so I fullscreened it. Now I’m an addict:
Don’t forget your keyboard shortcuts to switch between tabs. Obviously this is going to be harder in Safari because ctrl/command+[1-0] open the respective bookmarks as per their arrangement on the bookmarks toolbar which isn’t helpful at all. Perhaps that is configurable but I’ll never know because I uninstalled it for being a piece of shit.
Here is the Snow Leopard theme for Google Reader. Install through the green box in the top right. The “nicer navigation pane” skin on that page is worth it for the icons as well.
Go on, whine about it.
