Tip to Increase the Vertical Viewing Area Of Your Internet Browser

Hi!

Sometimes, when browsing the Net, one need to have more viewing area without much distractions. Some examples of where you would really love to have more browser work area on your screen would be watching videos, reading material, doing some assignments and playing games etc.

To increase the browser viewing area in Firefox and Microsoft’s IE, you can use F11 key (I tested it in these two browsers and it might work in other browsers too).

Two screenshots – one showing the normal Firefox browser window with toolbars and second showing the increased Firefox browser viewing area (vertically) without toolbars are pasted.

The normal Firefox browser window with toolbars (less viewing area as compared to the second screenshot)

You can toggle the browser viewing area(increase and decrease) by pressing F11, i.e., to increase the browser viewing area, use F11 and then press F11 again to switch back to the normal browser window with toolbars.

The above screenshots shows Firefox browser window vertical size being increased with F11 but you can press F11 key to do the same in Microsoft Internet Explorer browser too.

Hope that this tip enhances your Internet browser usage experience.
