I miss vertical space a lot when browsing websites on a small screen. There is:
- The OS toolbar
- The browser tab and url bar
- often: A fixed website header
- sometimes: A fixed website footer
Sometimes I'm left with only ~600px of vertical content space. Which isn't much for reading content, much less for skimming it or getting an overview.
On my laptop, I have tabs on the left, and the status bar and dock are hidden unless I need to see them.
Regarding headers, in my browser, I have a built-in option to disable sticky headers. I don't remember any sticky footers.
> The browser tab
You can have vertical tabs in Firefox without any plugins now.
1 and 2 are easily solved by pressing F11.
Are website header and footer that common nowadays? I tend to think it is more a thing from the past nowadays.
