How big do you generally have your browser window in relation to your screen? I usually keep it at 30%? But I made a big change and supersized it so it's like 75%.

Yep...

I keep it at default Facebook size, which seems to be somewhere around 70% of my screen.
Although, when I choose a different application, all the windows except for that application get minimized, so I could have it 100% if I cared to.

I keep it small...I don't like how part of the screen is yellowish and the other part is whitish.

Big enough that 30% was good enough for most of my browser needs. But it seems like more and more sites these days have enormous pictures? Or is it just me. Then I realized I'd only been keeping the browser small for a stupid reason unrelated to actual usage (it's complicated) and because my monitors have been too huge to feel comfortable with a maximized, well, anything, except fullscreen video/games. So 70% it is! The End.

Mine stays at 100% of screen, but I'm on a mac so spaces and expose let me comfortably have 16 desktops.

One good thing about having my browser larger is that more of those Liveclick favicons that bracket my browser are mostly lining the top rather than half of them in a pulldown menu to the side. It's so difficult to keep up with every piece of news ever when I have to like, click more than once. Phlogs (wait, I think that portmanteau is out of style) are more fun as well.

I keep windows (especially browser windows) at between 65% to 85% of the total screen space. 1920x1080 on my desktop PC, and 13**x760 on my laptop. I hate having windows that fill the entire screen, for some reason. Probably because I almost always have 2 or three things running at once, and if I full-screen something, I feel like I can't easily get to the other application; even though it's obvious that I easily could, I guess I'm just a little OCD about that.

Mine always stays at 100% of my (macbook pro's) screen. In fact, I have my mac setup to automatically hide any programs besides the active one, so I can better focus on the active one Smile

100% all the time on a 22" 1680x1050.
also my browser layout is a bit different (no buttons/toolbars, tabs listed along the left).

I guess a picture shows more. DaichiBrowser2010_0523.png

Ever since I got my new 22" widescreen lcd monitor and table arm for it, I keep my monitor rotated 90 degrees (which is unbelievably great for coding). It's 1050x1680 resolution.

If I'm multitasking, I have my browser as the top 50% of the screen, normally with mIRC at the bottom half. If I'm just browsing and nothing else, It's 100%, and the web looks great in the "portrait" rotation.

I guess it's worth noting that I have a secondary widescreen LCD TV for all video output that is of regular rotation.
