Vent: web sites that maximimze your browser - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I really HATE web sites that force your browser to maximize the window. It's not just porn or other low-life pop-up ads - I occasionally see it on legitimate sites.

You've got to manually size it back because IE it remembers the last widow state.

Do Mozilla or other non-IE browsers have to be resized after they're maximized?

That's all. Just had to vent.

With most browsers besides IE, you can disable the JavaScript that does that.

I know certainly that Firebird/Mozilla and Opera have these options.
