I really needed the extra screen real estate. However when prepping my Dell Mini 9 for using at a conference I was presenting at I needed to free up harddrive space. <br><br>That's when I found out Chrome eats that space. It had hidden files in excess of half a gig stored on my computer, and removing all my cahces, temp downloads, downloads, windows temp, etc didn't get rid of it, so Google Chrome had to go. <br><br>Thanks for this info, now I can try to get back my precious screen real estate, without sacrificing my equally precious hard drive space. That and still certain websites fail to function properly with Chrome. I had also recently moved to Chrome because of the small visual footprint. I really needed the extra screen real estate.

I optimized my Firefox with the TinyMenu add-in to put the menu as a drop-down from one "Menu" item, and pulled the toolbar, address bar and search bar up beside each other, so the whole thing just takes up room for one toolbar. So far it seems to work really well for me. Yep, F11 will give you the max possible, and its very nice.
