This is probably expected going forward, because if you've used a
modernized website lately you should know that computer users are in a
minority, and that you should only use a touchscreen on a phone to
scroll through your personalized ads. Read more here:

Only nerds and geeks would use advanced features like "Always on top"
etc. I've found a workaround where the menu containing "Minimize" and
other items shows up if you right-click on one of the window edges
*other* than the top: left, right, or bottom (where you would
left-click and drag to change the window size). However, neither of
these are accessible if the window is already maximized.
