When I need something it should be there.
I think working for 3 months, I would definitly need to some property, if it is not there after my 10.000 click becomes absolote. I would get angry. I would think to move other software.
%0.01 is nothing statistically but personally if im that number, it is important. I think features can be hidden but they should available, even if took 10 mouse clicks If it would worth, user clicks.
I like the idea of having much more pixels.

I had Chrome installed just long enough to find out there was no way to show the menu bar, then I uninstalled it. Look at the angry feedback Chrome is getting about this issue. Many, many people have answered no menu bar no Chrome. Don’t make the same mistake.

My explanation (only for “CLOSE TAB” / “NEW TAB” problem):
Firefox default settings (like unchecked “Hide the tab bar when only one tab is open”) caused this. Users learned how to open new (close) tab via menu, because there was not other user friendly approach to do this (hotkeys is not user friendly, although I prefer this) with only one tab open. And this approach is usable () to open/close tab all the time while you are browsing, so why change it. I know, there is a reason to change e.g. because of speed of browsing you can use hotkeys, but you can still use attested approach (via menu).

My explanation (only for COPY problem):
Why can I still select the text without any following action/operation like copy/paste? To copy some text I have to do minimal 3 moves – (select -> edit (in menu) -> copy (in menu)) or (select -> do right mouseclick -> copy (in contextmenu)). There should be an automation – When I select some text then context menu should appear automatically.
