Simply don't know Alex. I'd have thought the address bar should stay the same as, to my limited knowledge, I don't thinkk web sites have an effect on the address bar. Don't know if possibly any ad blocker might change the space it takes up in response to what a web site is trying to do in the way of displayig ads. My thinking is here, that sometimes, the ad blocker is sharing part of the address bar horizontal space. Really I'm guessing here though. I should say I use Firefox the great majority of the time, so I tend to forget these days what Internet Explorer browsing is like.

On looking at things again it seems that I was slightly wrong, the address bar is there, however, it has shrunk and has a downward pointing arrow to its right. Is this a change in the Acer website or a change in IE because I was sure that the address bar was generally a long bar on most websites?
