ANY fixed paged header is too big.

If it's a site I plan on revisiting, I'll modify CSS (Stylebot / Stylish plugins) to "position: static".

If it's not, I'll simply set it to "display: none;" as I do with other page annoyances.

Yeah, it's the browser toolbar 2.0. I have a bookmarklet to delete page elements and half the time I use it on these. The other half is on blog posts that have a huge picture of the author right along side. I can't read with someone staring at me.
