The Mac title-bar lozenge actually does this, it allows you to open
a window without a toolbar or other application controls, and to
get them back. Maybe browsers and popups could use something like it?
Chromeless popups under Firefox on the Mac have the lozenge, and it
performs as expected

Thanks so very much for blocking popups (mostly). And thank you so very much for
adding a little message stripe at the top of the screen letting me know that you
did. Good to know you are on the job. I'll even say thanks for offering to let
me change options for handling popups from
