Recently, the good people at Lifehacker.com wrote an article comparing various web browsers to see which one was the most "pixel friendly" - meaning which one provided the most space to the website instead of wasting it with toolbars, etc. Since this topic is one that is near and dear to my heart, I wanted to pass along the results for everyone to see. Charting is all about the pixels and if your browser is stealing them, then maybe it is time to get another browser.
Here's a link to the article that compares Windows browsers.
Here's a link to the article that compares Mac browsers.
Bottom Line: Google's free Chrome browser is the most "pixel friendly" browser for general use. If however you use the browser's Full Screen mode (F11) then Firefox and Opera are the best.
Combined with Chrome's speed advantages, there really is no reason not to at least try Google Chrome and see if it gives you a better StockCharts experience.
Finally, take a look at your screen right now. If you see more than one third-party tool bar at the top of your browser window, you really owe it to yourself to read my Vertical Pixel post from back in April.
