Usable Browser Space Part 1

The following are the measurements I got in browsers on the Windows 2000 platform. To get the measurements, I left the browsers in their standard configuration (if the user adds or removes a toolbar, that will affect these numbers). All measurements were taken by taking screenshots and actually measuring the area.

• Netscape 4.78
  • Screen Resolution: 800×600
    • Screen Real Estate: 780×422
  • Screen Resolution: 1024×768
    • Screen Real Estate: 1004×590
• Netscape 7.01
  • Screen Resolution: 800×600
    • Screen Real Estate: 785×444
  • Screen Resolution: 1024×768
    • Screen Real Estate: 1009×612
• Internet Explorer 5.5
  • Screen Resolution: 800×600
    • Screen Real Estate: 780×452
  • Screen Resolution: 1024×768
    • Screen Real Estate: 1004×620

I’ll try to do the same for Macs and Linux soon.
