If you use an extension, then you can minimize by chrome.windows.update(window.id, { state: 'minimized' })

I hope this is what you are looking for:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function Minimize()
{
window.innerWidth = 100;
window.innerHeight = 100;
window.screenX = screen.width;
window.screenY = screen.height;
alwaysLowered = true;
}

function Maximize()
{
window.innerWidth = screen.width;
window.innerHeight = screen.height;
window.screenX = 0;
window.screenY = 0;
alwaysLowered = false;
}
</SCRIPT>

<A HREF="javascript:onClick=Minimize()">Minimize</A>
<A HREF="javascript:onClick=Maximize()">Maximize</A>

There is no way to minimize the browser window within javascript.

There are ways to change the size of the window, but no true minimization (nice word)

No, there isn't. However, depending on what you're doing and which browsers you're targeting, you could play around with the blur and focus events of the window to achieve similar effect.
