**POLL** Do you browse with your window maximized or windowed?

I can only go to 1024 x 768 on this monitor, otherwise I'd have a higher resolution and it might be windowed.

Unless you have a huge monitor.. it would be pretty stupid not to have them maximized.

Why?

I used to always maximize... but then one day long ago my girlfriend asked me why I always maximize the browser windows, and I thought about it, and couldn't think of one good damn reason, what with having 2284 x 1792 screen area. So now I always keep them windowed, and I feel trapped if they're maximized.

GUI windows suck, Lynx Rules.

Maximizing windows typically eats up too much of the screen. I'd rather be able to get some work done.

Maximus!

windowed, very few pages have enough horizontal content to take up much more than half of my screen. i have plenty of room left over to arrange IM windows and still see the first couple rows of desktop icons and things

Full screen, rotated to portrait mode. :thumbsup:

Windowed all the time .....

The only times I really ever maximize the browser are
1) if I'm using a craptastic 14inch or smaller CRT that can only do 800x600 ....
2) If the webpage doesn't fit right on my laptop screen ... ie .. if I have to horizontal scroll, I will maximize it as my lappie only goes to 1024x768.

at home, I am running 3200x1200 on one PC, 1600x1200 on another, 1280x960 on the other, and 1024x768 on the lappie .... I hate how my browser looks maximized ... I will often have 2 browsers open ... each with tabs ... one on each monitor .... however, never maximized.

I used to be a Mac user. We couldn't easily maximize our window fully like Windows could via a single button so I got used to unmaxed, windowed browsing. It's actually nicer that way because you can have other stuff opened and viewable at the same time. I also tend not to bother much with the taskbar so maybe that's why.
