However, this does not hide the taskbar, it only hides the toolbars and the frame of the browser window.

If you don't know what this is, try it. While on a page hit F11, it will go full screen, even better than hiding the taskbar, as it removes the toolbars also. When you are done, hit F11 to return to normal. Since the person said sometime, I agree using F11 would be the best option.

This produces a taskbar-free screen most of the time, yet makes it immediately available by touching the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen where the taskbar is hiding. Since most 'web surfers' already have the mouse in hand (do they even know what keyboard is?), this is a very efficient way to access the Start button and taskbar when needed to switch to a different application or launch a new event. BTW, it is not necessary to click both Apply and OK the execute the change in any dialog window. Apply will execute the changes made while leaving the dialog window open. OK will both apply the change and close the dialog box with a single click. Why click twice when once is enough? Again, more efficient.
