Bug description:
Binary package hint: chromium-browser
Firefox and Chromium/Google Chrome when maximised align tabs right at
the upper screen edge which speeds up accessing these tabs (see
Fitts's Law, the time needed for accessing interface elements depends
on their size, screen edges have indefinite width).
Unity instead of allowing applications to make use of this precious
screen edge puts a global menubar to the top, the "panel". However
both Firefox 4+ and Chromium unlike other browsers and most
applications don't have (or need) anything like a traditional menubar.
Therefore Unity wastes space (problematic for tablets and netbooks)
and breaks application level usability.
I suggest to take clues from Chromium OS which puts tabs at the top,
together with indicator applet like functionality (clock, network
status).
