IE9 Beta - Battle of the "chrome"

Before Google's Chrome browser was released, "chrome" meant something different.  In browsers, it meant the borders and widgets around the web page itself.

I've heard a lot of chest thumping by Microsoft regarding how much IE9 gets out of the way.  So, I did a comparison of the chrome myself in the picture below.  Check out the red line I drew.

From left-to-right, the browsers are:

• Internet Explorer 9.0.7930.16406  (Engadget review, Lifehacker review, RWW coverage)
• Safari 5.0.2 (with one tab open, as two tabs adds even more chrome)
• Chrome 6.0.472.59
• Firefox 4.0b6. 

Guess what?  They're right.  Not only is more of the page visible, but also the title of the page and other controls have disappeared.  I am a dedicated Chrome user at the moment, but I may have to rethink my loyalty.
