What's the point of the green button in Safari?!

So obviously the yellow one minimises it, the red one closes it, but what on earth does the green one do?

As far as I can tell, it just resizes the window at random! Why doesn't it just make it full screen? Surely that would be more sensible... I have been a mac user for some years but that has ALWAYS baffled me.

Another thing that I don't understand is why on earth can't you scroll through images in preview? I want to just be able to click left and right to scroll through pictures in a folder like you can in (eugh) windows. I don't want to have to open iPhoto just to do that...

Am I being stupid? Having found 99.9% of OSX to be straightforward and logical since switching in 2004, these 2 points really annoy me. I hope someone can please put me out of my misery!

Thanks in advance.
 
its called "auto resize", proposed function is "resize browser window to fit the content of the current webpage",

Click to expand...

You can do this in preview. Highlight all the images in Finder, then press Apple+O, this will open up all the images in preview and you can scroll through them

or

Select you images, right click (ctrl+click) and select slideshow
