I found this to be one of if not the hardest strands so far
Good job thinking of the browser bar so early. I got all the words before it occurred to me that it was the browser menu. Until then I was just picturing various physical bars.
I understood the theme fairly early on but I couldn't find the right terminology for the spangram. Since I always try to get the spangram first (plus not highlight anything until I lock in the guess), it took forever. I had MENU blocking off the top so I kept trying to force a left/right spangram coming from the S of FAVORITES, going under the Y of HISTORY and back up to the right. Then I tried FAVORITESWINDOW for a bizarre spangram taking up the entire side of the board...
I got everything except the spangram and file. So had menu, items and files. So was confused when neither menu, nor item nor files worked. And then thought about menuitem and files. But again I just was missing files as a viable choice. Got it in the end, just took a bit time.
Tough game but a good solve!

I saw the red herring STOOL first but I didn't fall for it. I saw FAVORITE next and that clued me in to look for a different type of bar. And not legal. Perfect solve (didn't fall for MYSELF either).
