We (still) need a better browsing experience, and I’m on a mission to promote it. For part 3, I’ve created a comparison picture to again show easy gains in vertical space.
Browsers, such as Apple’s Safari, need to make better use of vertical space. Less focus on functionality and more on page content.
Here’s my mockup. (Click for large version.)
Seventy eight pixels on a 1024 x 768 screen is about 10 percent more web page.
(Also, notice how I’ve thrown my website visual consistency to the dogs with striking grey for the background, and a serif font. Rawr.)
doesn’t that sidebar on the left take up even more space than the original method? or does it slide in and out? if so, will i have to take an extra step revealing my tabs before i can change between them? interesting thought…i myself am working on vertical space business ideas so i love to see it happening elsewhere!
