    Thats a shame there's a fix... Any site that uses chromeless or full screen isn't worth the download... I mean why bother? Are they that unprofessional that they have to use flashy gimicks to confuse the novice user?

    Actually microbians does typically use their chromeless script. The current quick fix simply allows for standard window use with a simple js swap.

    I personally enjoy using the chromeless browser on my personal site, which is a site that I maintain for fun with no business focus.

    I typically troll the sitecheck when ever I see a commercial chromeless site in there I usually stress how inappropriate that usage is and that it can be confusing to the standard "user".

    I swear, I think XP killed a script of mine which I used to set cookies in Flash, as the script works on my older machine ('98). Bugger.

    As for chromeless, I don't see the problem for fun sites, but commercial? Not in this lifetime.

    Isn't there some IE for Mac? And for Unix (not Linux)?

    But I hate chromeless windows, anyhow.

    I've got Chimera set as my default browser and have done for about the last 5 months.
    It absolutely rocks.
