I have been annoyed in every Gnome 3 desktop I’ve used because the tabs of my maximized browser plus the title of my browser plus the panel at the top take up a full fifteen to twenty percent of my small laptop screen. I admit that the MATE version of this that I see right now is way way better, but it still sucks. I mean, I maximized the browser for a reason.
I’m a little too used to windows 7 perhaps because I use it at work. There the tops of the tabs touch the top of the screen. I’ve never liked apple desktops for the same reason, the top of the screen, where I look most often is too cluttered. I get that this is how MATE is set up, and I appreciate how thin the top panel is. I want to get rid of that title bar though.
Is there a way to get rid of the Mozilla Firefox bar between the tabs and the top panel?
With Gnome 3, there are various extensions that can sort of get around this, but they don’t really work and they make everything buggy. Is there a way to fix this space wasting design at the distro level so I can stop being bothered by it?
Here’s a low-quality jpeg showing what I mean. Why do we need that extra line with the firefox logo? Why can’t that move down to the line that has the tabs?
