(Most of the time my screen is way bigger.) Also, I didn't want to restart the Firefox window because I'd lose my place in Reader. :/ What I was too lazy to do was go into a graphics program to measure the difference in size. If you focus on the Google Reader viewport, even correcting for the "Restart Firefox" bar, I get a quick and dirty 75mm in Firefox and 100cm in Reader's app mode. That's an additional 33%. Admittedly, half the problem is that Google Reader's interface sucks for a short screen, and I would prefer a lot of that cruft to get out of the way. I forgot the other Google Chrome feature I enjoy is that it scales images more aesthetically than Firefox. Anyway, good points, man! Andrew, I totally keep a URL bar and a bookmark bar open!

Do you really keep that many toolbars open at once? And that "you need to restart your browser" bar is totally temporary. Dude, your “before” Netbook Firefox window is a total strawman.
