The customizability of tabs, allowing site and app developers to hide and show certain features sounds like a good idea, too, until you consider how average users will respond to the inconsistencies. Ya, that's what I've been missing all this time. Web sites being able hide and show my browser features.

2 edits | Why the US faces broadband price hikes
Bull. Nothing here will change. We'll see a few cable providers cap (eg TWC, Cox, Comcast), even an occasional bloodsucking telco do it (Frontier), but no changes in how prices are increased. We'll continue to see the exact same occasional price increases we always have.
Meanwhile telcos, seeing what happens when you raise prices (they get no new customers), has dropped them again which will spur another intro price war between telcos and cable. So in the short term, expect to see more deals from telcos and more 6-12 month deals from cable. |

Re: Google Browser
Actually, sites were able to do this a lot back in the pre-tabs days. For example:
This would open a new browser window that takes up the entire screen without the menu bar, status bar, title bar, or toolbar (back/forward buttons, etc). It wouldn't be able to be resized and there would be no scrollbars.
It was only relatively recently that browsers included controls to allow the users to prohibit these actions from being taken. (FireFox, was the first browser that I remember including these, though I don't know when/if Opera included them.)
