What is a difference between window size and viewpoint size on Chrome?

I noticed that those two figures are slightly different all the time on Chrome.

What is the difference window size vs viewpoint size? :-D

The difference is:

viewport is the size of the screen.

Window: is the size of the browser window.

this can be demonstrated when you have scroll bars on the bottom of the screen going left to right. The Window is bigger than the viewport.
