So how big is my monitor, how do I have it adjusted, and what resolution am I in?
Don't know?  So how can you POSSIBLY define the image in inches/centimetres without the program displaying it (in this case, a webbrowser) supporting some kind of feedback from the rest of the system (which would also suck badly since things measured in inches/cm wouldn't be resized when changing res and everything else would).  Quite frankly, it annoys the hell out of me when software attempts to tell me the "size" of something in inches or centimetres.  It really means nothing at all without some kind of manual caibration first (like GIMP does on initial setup (which I still don't use because I don't like it))
Overall, a pixel size feels more "natural" than inches/centimetres since I know how it's going to look in relation to other things with pixel sizes (such as font size) which is what really counts (I don't care how big my graphics appear on someone's screen, as long as the appear the right size in relation to everything else there!)
