My mom does the same thing. Whenever I see her browsing, I say, "What do you have that bookmark bar open for! Why are you cutting down your available space like that?"
Ah well.

I'm happy to see that somebody actually wonders about those things as most tech bloggers don't.

I have noticed that a lot of the people in the 50+ age bracket in my workplace (small to medium sized government Department) do the exact same thing with IE. Personally I hate having any sidebar inside my browser and I don't understand it at all.
I do find it interesting that it really seems to be a generational thing but I can't for the life of me think why that would be the case.

Hi Son & others Yep I am nearly 60 and still have an open mind
My big issue with Google Chrome - BTW I do not have my Favourites aka Bookmarks- older generation or should I say younger generation included - opened all the time I am browsing & my resoloution is set to 1280x760 now I can afford a larger monitor
Whoops back to the Big Issue with Chrome - I was unable to keep "Favourites" open when I chose - the other issue - text size on some pages - IE7& allows you to set a default size - Chrome - sure you can change when on a particular site but reverts back to their sizing the next time you open
Yes I do have a sight problem but not that BAD - as yet no Labrador
My biggest whinge is these people who set up sites with black backgrounds and white or red text!!!! May look "pretty" but a pain in the neck to read
That is why I like IE7 with Google as my home page - No Frills - Tab Browsing which I love & the options to choose how I see it plus if I want to keep My Favourites open I can
