That doesn't mean Chrome doesn't have some nifty tricks. IE8 does the same but keeps a separate search box just in case, while Firefox sticks with URLs and previously visited pages in the address bar and search suggestions in the search bar. Instead, you use the same box to type URLs and search criteria if it's the latter, Chrome comes up with some helpful suggestions. One thing Chrome has done is simplified the traditional combination of address bar and search bar.

Its address bar and tabs remain at the top of the screen, whereas in full screen mode IE8 and Firefox get rid of absolutely everything. In fact, Chrome's slight space advantage disappears completely when you maximise it. Had Google gone for something other than THE WORLD'S BIGGEST FONT in the address bar, the difference would have been more pronounced. Disable Firefox's and IE's status bars - Chrome doesn't have one - and Chrome's header is a half-tab shorter than IE and the same size as Firefox. There's been a lot of talk about Chrome's minimalist appearance, but it doesn't make that much difference to the amount of space the browser actually takes up.
