"The new Australis interface has finally landed in beta. Is this really a step forward or has the Mozilla user designers lost their mind once again? Sure, if you are ok with the default user interface and don't tweak it to suit your needs then the new UI is not too different from previous releases. But if you, like me, like to change the interface to suit your needs, then the new Australis UI will probably not rock your world, it certainly doesn't rock mine. I can no long get the stop/reload button out of the url bar, the forward/back buttons are locked next to the url bar and so on. Beta Sucks, anyone?"

    Not to detract anything from your criticism of Chrome's UI, but as a solution to your problem you can use the win key in combination with the arrow keys to do the same as dragging to the right, top or left borders - win + left or right gives you the half screen window of the used direction and win + up maximizes. As a bonus, win + down minimizes. This works even with multiple monitors and is in fact a nicer way to use the functionality on the edge between both screen areas.
