Don’t know if this belongs here, but it’s about webdesign in general.

What do you generally choose if you can either open a website in a “normal window” or in a “popup window”? Problem is you never know if the popup is going to be full-screen (which can be annoying) or whether it’s a fixed width. I work in 1792\*1344 so fullscreen popup sometimes is overkill for me.

But then again, if you design a (flash) website that should be viewable for 1024\*768 users, you lose a lot of space with all the browser bars.

What’s your choice when browsing the net?
