Browse Cleaner

I think I have finally perfected the experience I want when I open up a web browser. The most important part is that it renders content correctly and quickly, and provides a basic development tools. Firefox has long been my preferred browser, but until now I have not taken time to customize its interface away from the leopard-styled default. Recently, though, this has changed. Mozilla Labs just released Personas, and as simple as the extension might seem, it has really changed the way I work within Firefox. I created a the simple CarbonHUD style using the four customizable fields and then proceeded to remove all of the toolbars I had (there weren't many...) until there was nothing left. The result is a great interface that simply cannot distract from whatever important things are going on inside the browser window. When multiple tabs are open, you can see the dimpled grey background, but the best way to use this setup is for web applications. Running a web app this way makes it integrate so seamlessly into your Operating System, it is great. This is what I mean:


Even with those tabs, it looks great. Here is another example:



... and of course it complements amoebaOS nicely:



Go ahead and try it out. You will need Personas for Firefox:
