Maximise your browser window

Sometimes, your browser window becomes so cluttered with toolbars, there's barely any room left for the actual web page. You can temporarily turn off all the toolbars (those at the bottom as well as the top of the screen) by pressing the F11 key on your keypad. This works in both Firefox and Internet Explorer. On the Macintosh, press Ctrl-B. Bingo - it's like going to wide-screen TV! You can restore the bars by pressing the same key again.

Alternative web browsers

Firefox and Internet Explorer aren't the only way to explore the web. Here are 9 alternative, lesser-known browsers whose unique features make them worth consideration. (Found at TechRadar.)
