Although I highly agree with you on how Apple messed up by making "maximizing" such a pain, at the same time, I (not a Mac user, but had to use one for work for around 5 months) almost never have my browser maximized, even when on multiple screens. So it's still a valid point that Lewisham brought up.

This website gives the impression that she still needs some practice in her UX design skills.

I actually think Apple got the maximize button right (at least from the perspective of higher resolution displays).

The maximize button for browsers on Mac's maximizes the browser window to fit the content within the page. That is exactly how I want it to work when working with higher resolutions. Never do I want to maximize my browser to my 1920x1080 resolution.

I could see that while that solution is great for larger resolutions it may be non-optimal for smaller one's so maybe adding a system wide toggle switch would be ideal.
