Invisible SeaMonkey
A random excerpt from IRC (I did even cut out everything not directly being in that string of the conversion):
This prompted me to do the following screen shot with a SeaMonkey trunk build from today:
This situation of almost no chrome and a maximum of web content is only a few clicks a away in a default SeaMonkey, actually: All I did was hide sidebar + status bar, and clicked all grippies to collapse menubar + toolbars.
If you need the navigation bar from that state, it's easy to get back, just click the largest of the collapsed grippies. All other grippies need a look at tooltips to find which is which tool/menubar. With the recent change to enable each toolbar separately to have icons or text only, text next to icons, and/or small icons, one can easily customize them to allow for a good amount of screen estate to be left to content even with shown content. When this is joined by being able to customize the icons on the toolbars, we'll have a really compelling tool for power users there in SeaMonkey 2, I think.

<reed> KaiRo: oh, right, we need Google Chrome
<reed> less chrome == more ads!
<KaiRo> right
<KaiRo> oh, but then, why install "Chrome" if you want less chrome?
<KaiRo> I want something tiny, almost invisible... like those small pets I hardly can spot in their aquarium... what was that name of those? Sea...er...Monkeys?
<KaiRo> sorry, that one was too hard to resist
<reed> KaiRo: last I checked, SeaMonkey's "chrome" was far from invisible
