Leaving Google’s silo: Alternatives to Gmail, Talk, Calendar, and more

Tabs in the title bar is a better UI decision. The URL box belongs to the tab, so it should be part of the tab. Your objection here seems to be 'Firefox mimicked Chrome and this is a bad thing', rather than these things being objectively bad.

Tabs in a treeview is better again, and is not possible with Chrome.

I also object to the lack of a menu bar, for bookmarks in particular. I have an extension that emulates it, but nothing that can properly emulate treeview tabs - I can't imagine ever going to a browser without this.

It does have a menu bar, with bookmarks in particular. http://i.imgur.com/awPDYp4.jpg

While Chrome has a menu bar for bookmarks, your screenshot does not in any way show that.
