Another approach (a bit more generic): use <a HREF="http://www.autohotkey.com/" REL="nofollow">AutoHotkey</a> and set up macros to resize and/or move any window with hotkeys or mouse gestures.<br/><br/>:) Useful and imaginative!

My lappy's default is 1920x1200, so I can usually have an app and a browser window each in about half of the screen. Stupid, poorly-coded websites. Yeah.

For me, there's no reason for a website to resize your browser. That's one of the reason I bookmark these links. If a website resizes my browser window without my permission, I just click on the 800x600 link and keep going.<br/><br/>I usually browse website in 800x600 even though I have a 1680x1050 desktop. Most websites (or should) fit into 800x600, and I can keep working on other applications. I’m with you J.R. For me, there’s no reason for a website to resize your browser.

As it is, my laptop screen is of a high enough resolution that I almost never resize things. As a slightly off-topic rant, man, I hate when things resize my browser without my permission.

I only tested them in FireFox and IE (the browsers that I use). JavaScipt can be finniky sometimes.<br/><br/>A fit to site conten would be really cool. I'll have to think about that one.

A fit to site conten would be really cool. I’ll have to think about that one. I don’t really know how to determine how big the content is.

I find it really useful. Hmmm..how come they don’t work in Opera (v 9.0 pr 1 to be precise?).

(button) that you have Move or resize existing windows checked. <br/><br/>I had this unchecked for various reasons.
