These are '''NOT FINAL! THEY ARE ONLY FOR BRAINSTORMING/EXPLORATION!'''

Possibly add a Bookmarks widget as an upfront replacement for the Bookmarks menu/Bookmarks toolbar (option to turn those on would remain).

The more contentious Tabs-on-Top concept.
'''Positives'''
*'''Save Vertical Space'''
*'''Efficiency/Remove Visual Complexity''' - Right now the tabs have to be connected to something. So we are adding an extra visual element for them to connect to.
*'''Shorter Mouse Distance to Page Controls'''
'''Negatives'''
*'''Breaks Consistency/Familiarity''' - Moving things confuses existing users.
*'''Title is MIA''' - With the space removed from the titlebar you only get the truncated version in the tab.
*'''Longer Mouse Distance to Tabs''' - Takes longer to mouse to a tab.
*'''Lost Space''' - Sandwiched in between the application icon and the window widgets you lose some space.
== Combo Stop/Refresh/Go Button. ==

Attached at the end of the location bar.
*Turns green when you start typing.
*Blends with the location bar when at rest.
*Turns blue on hover.
*Turns red when a page is loading.
The proposed iconography is mostly colorless. Adding color to these temporary action driven buttons will make it more obvious something is going on.
