Google Browser Size is a new visualization tool for website developers. It basically plasters a bunch of contoured lines onto any website you tell it to indicating what percentage of users can view what window size. So in the above image, the line for 95% means that 95% of the people visiting the site have a window size that lets them see up to that point. Interesting information!
Of course, you already know that if you want to delete all traces of your internet browsing, you have to clear the History, delete the cookies and use one of the stealth modes in the new browsers.
So that’s pretty much it right? No one can see what sites you visited if you did this. WRONG! The Geek explains how there are other tricky aspects of Windows that record what you are doing and if you really want to get rid of all traces you have to clear the DNSCache and all Flash cookies. Say what!?
One thing I have always loved about Google products and services is that they are very simple, clean, and elegant. Take, for example, Google.com or Google Chrome.
Gmail is also pretty minimalist, but there have been a lot of additions that can make it look cluttered. Minimalist Gmail is a Firefox addon that gets rid stuff you don’t use, so you can focus on your email. Check the image out above!
Want to know which web browser performs the best? Well, it depends on what you are testing.
