How wide do you usually keep your browser window? wondering so I can make a layout decision on my site...

90-100% of full width, but most often maximized

- fyoucher10
about 70%
- sintaxera0

MAXIMUMIZED.

Suppose it depends on PC (can you not have it maximized?) or Mac (prob not). Mine is usually 50px or so off maximized should I want to drag images to the desktop

about half the width of 1920x1200 screen, overlapping browser windows and lots of other stuff.
But I might not be a visitor to your site... you should find out the real stats of the people who actually visit your site, not averages.
- of course you still then have to ask them how wide the window is...ribit

I usually set it to be wide enough to work with my homepage and then leave it. In my case that ends up being about 1250 px wide.

as small as possible to see what i need to see

Whoever doesn't have it screen width on at least one screen is a psycho.

this is hilarious to read through. i probably change the width of it 20 times a day. totally depends what i am looking at.

i use the cmd+tab/alt+tab keystroke to switch from window to app to whatever. so generally i have the browser open full screen.

From 80% to maximized.
By the way, the new version of Firefox for mac kill the no-anti-alias effect on Monaco 11px... WTF!!!

on Windows 100% of 1280.... on MAC 70% of 1920

we setup a script to check screen resolution versus browser size a while back (like, a year ago) for a company i was doing marketing consulting for. i was convinced that more people didn't do full screen, especially as the resolutions got higher, but i was wrong. the huge majority go full screen.
at least, that's what we found. i could probably dig up the script we used if you want to test. just some js that records screen and browser dimensions.
