Fixed or variable browsing?

[nagrom]

This is really an extension of the Fixed or variable width poll.

Lots of us here seem to be of the big-monitor variety. If you have a big monitor, what res do you use, and how do you surf, full-screen or smaller?

I have big screens, but have found that I tend to open up a few windows around 900 wide and surf that way.

How about you?

I've got big screen but when browising website... I mostly use small window... unless its really cool flash movie or Film...

I dont see the reason of full screen since most website is designed for 800x600 screen res. and I could fit 4 of them on my screen at once.

okay, im on a 20 inch monitor. res: 1024x768
my browser is generaly at full screen.

[paroxysm]

Full screens, though I do open a lot of browser windows..

I'm on a 20" monitor, 1024x768. I never use full screen for anything, including browser windows.

If a page is designed for flexible widths, the text is sometimes too wide to read comfortably, unless the designer knew what he/she was doing. Unfortunately, this is rare.

Always full screen. Don't know why, just a habit, I guess.
