Don't think so - they've designed it all around the tabs, so that each tab has its own address bar, etc. I really like it, but I wish they'd port it to Linux. It looks like it would be a nice fast browser to run on my weedy little netbook.

But because each tab is its own process it uses alot more memory than FF3, sometimes 3x the amount of memory, would your "weedy little netbook" handle it?

I think so - its got a gig of ram but the CPU is an Intel Atom 1.6ghz - I find firefox 3 ridiculously slow on script-heavy sites like boards.ie on it. Since that's the key area where they've sped things up in chrome I'd like to give it a go.
