That should have been "with all navigation on the left".

Left is probably preferable.  The right for Next is good, but only

Yes, I forgot to mention that - it is a real benefit.  When I first
looked, I was on my netbook and I thought "Mmmmm, nice, shiny."  But
I decided to look on my main system before sending a first reply.

At the moment I have not attempted to see how it behaves in qupzilla
or konqueror.  I assume that links or lynx will not be altered.
