If you're a Gmail user, you're probably familiar with Labs, nifty experimental features that extend the program's functionality. This model extends to the stock web browser on 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and 3.1 Honeycomb, as well. From the browser's settings page, click "Labs," then enable “Quick Controls” on the following screen. The URL and status bars will disappear from the phone's top edge, giving you a little more screen real estate. If you want to open a new page, access settings, or do a web search, just put your thumb on the far left or right edge of the screen – a circular menu will open up giving you navigation options.
