Anatomy
The desktop browser layout is broken up into a few areas.
The UI that frames the web content is "the chrome" (tab strip, toolbar, bookmarks, infobar, sidebar, find bar, etc.); Anything found within the web content (viewport) is referred to as "in-content."; And lastly, the line separating these is called the "Line of Trust".
