You can have multiple browser windows though. And you can size and
arrange them as you please.
I think the biggest limitation here is the extra real-estate imposed
by the browser itself. However, chrome minimizes that, and also
it is possible to instruct the browser to open a window without
decorations (using javascript's window.open() method -- though if
you are willing to use that you also have some other options
available to you).
Though, actually, you could make a bookmark and edit. For
example, change it to:
javascript:window.open(prompt('url'), '_blank',
'status=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,menubar=0')
This lets you type in a url and get a window visiting that url with a
relative minimum of decoration real-estate. You could also make
multiple bookmarks, replacing
the "prompt('url')" with whatever url you want (in quotes). Or instead
of having the bookmark always spawn a new window you could change
the second parameter from '_blank' to some unique name for that
bookmark and the bookmark would then bring the named window to
the front if it were already open...
