Compact mode for life. I can't go back to other browsers now, they're all too cluttered.
Cluttered? What do you mean?
Made the window smaller to not create a huge screenshot, but this is what my browser looks like.
Anything more than that, and I would be really annoyed.
Zen's compact mode hides the toolbar and sidebar until you mouseover their areas. I just have the webpage effectively fullscreen all the time. I now get unreasonably annoyed by the fact that other browsers won't let me do the same.
I'd include one for the toolbar but an unrelated app keeps interfering with my screenshot for it.
Again, I completely get that I'm being fussy but I just love compact mode ~~(I believe it also works in horizontal tab mode but prefer vertical tabs).~~
Edit: they seem to not do horizontal tabs any more
Navigation elements should not change their position or disappear.

Change my mind.
I tried Zen and I didn't like it. I have a big enough screen, I like everything being a click away, I even turned on the menu bar in LibreWolf. I also didn't like the forced tabs down the side. I guess this is why we have options!
