Don't worry, will be fixed in the major site update that's happening merely DAYS from today!!Anyway, I still think Chrome is the best for netbooks, because I want to have some information, like the tabs and address bar. I wanna know where I am, and when I'm working, I do want to switch tabs quickly, and often too. In full screen mode, whether in IE of FF, I have to wait for the bar to pop out before I can change tabs etc. Also, having those essential bars (sound's like a wine bar's name...) permanently there means that the bars don't hover over the top of the page.Personal preference I guess.

For tablets, the <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1250" rel="nofollow">Grab and Drag</a> extension for Firefox is extremely useful and Chrome can't compete with that I have to disagree with Chrome being a good browser for netbooks and especially a tablet.For a netbook the inability of fullscreen mode means a permanent space of screen real estate being taken up by the tabs and address bar.
