Whats wrong with having a browser (say Mozilla for example) and your work (say a document for example) both maximised and just tab between them?

Most people never/rarely look at other peoples task bar's....... and if they do you always have the auto hide option

Because, Uber, that's simply not as sexy as a hidden browser.

How can you use it when it's hidden?

I was thinking along the same lines, but more along the "Why not just try white text on a white background browsing pictures of some polar bears eating marshmellows in a snowstorm?"

Well, I did a websearch about Ghostzilla. You touch the left edge of the screen, then the right, and then the left again and Ghostzilla opens inside of whatever program you were using. To remain inconspicuous, it displays everything in black/white and dissapears when you move your cursor outside of its window. See for yourself:

...I kept an old fish-eye mirror that fell off a truck in me knapsack and always placed it inconspicously in an advantageous position.

And to think that people stole your idea, DW, and are now making money off of it! Shame on them!
