"persistent navigation-bar"

It's pretty cool, isn't it? The rollover expansion is balanced so it doesn't get in the way unless you pause your pointer. Other sites expand immediately, which sucks. We're way better than that.

Unless you are using chrome in 8 mode on a surface.

prod, it pops up and disappears, prod and hold it pops up, taking half the screen up with pointless shite, prod the bar to get the right click menu to disappear, (making sure i don't accidentally prod the wrong link) then click the link you actually wanted.

basically half the site is now pretty much to much bother to look at.

the only solution i've found is to read in an rss reader!

chrome windows 8 mode on surface
