 I suggest adding a keyboard shortcut which would restore focus to the main window.  Alternatively, or perhaps in addition, hitting "esc" from either the Location Bar of the Search Bar could return you to the main window.
+== Graph-based visualization of open pages ==
+I'm not sure if other people use their browsers this way, but I tend to have many tabs open, usually grouped by some theme or site when I'm comparing information from various sites. At this point the tab interface becomes less useful as the label does not convey the page, let alone the structure of navigation that lead to it.
+So the idea is a view of open pages that shows their structure. Lets say I'm comparing 10 faculty members from 3 departments and two different university. This is a lot of tabs! A graph view would show two main nodes (one for each university) then each of those nodes would branch to each department, and each department down to each faculty member.
+I may be a power user, but a browser is as much about information and research as it is about entertainment. A browser that allows you to see the structure of the pages your looking at, in a informational/research context, would be a huge hit in the academic community.
