There's not enough crazy in this thread.
There we go. Pretty sure I outnerded all you lynx/links/elinks losers. ;P
Waiting for a netcat entry now...
Here's what I use now. I moved from a 1600x1200 monitor to a 1920x1080 monitor. That means I got a shitload more horizontal space and a shitload less vertical space. Up/Down space is at a relative premium, and I have more left/right than I can handle! So I do whatever I can to save on the vertical. In this case, my tabs are down the right side of the page, and my URL bar is merged with the status bar. The titlebar is used for grouping windows, so I cannot use it for the tabs. Also, I keep a lot of tabs running, so they would be pretty useful in that limited amount of space.
My desktop is pretty much the same. All my controls are on the extreme left of the screen. I have the full vertical run of everything. It works incredibly well for me.
At home, I almost exclusively use opera. At work, I use opera for non-work stuff (like GAF) using a home socks proxy. For work stuff, I use firefox. Tree-style tabs is amazing and allows me to group my tabs in a logical manner. Opera has something similar, but I think that this method here is a little better. Until I saw this thread, the UI was a bit cluttered. Today, I got rid of the bookmark bar then merged the controls on the navigation bar onto the menu bar. I'll see if it's not too much of a hassle to have a bookmark sidebar toggle button instead of a full-on bookmark toolbar.
edit: Gonna have to waste vertical space again and put the location bar in its own space. Hitting Ctrl-L brings up a location dialog instead of focusing on the bar when it's up there. Eh, no worries, it was an interesting experiment.
There's not much I can do with chrome to modify the UI. It's just so incredibly inflexible. That's a shame, as I really like the idea of keeping separate tabs in their own processes. Hmm, maybe there's an extension nowadays to get that tab bar off from the top of the window.
Anyway, I will gladly be amused at people who get inexplicably angry at the idea of, say, putting tabs on the left or right of the window, even though rational bases for doing so were given. For the rest of you, I hope you enjoyed this daily dose of nutty.
