[Discuss] Google Chrome

I decided to switch to Chrome again for a couple of reasons.
First, I'm seeing a lot of cases where firefox is sucking up cycles 
mainly because a script is running.
Secondly, it seems to affect the performance of Thunderbird. Many times 
if I run top(1) in a virtual terminal, both will be at the top.

A couple of customization questions
First, by default, Chrome has the tabs on top above the status bar, and 
I prefer the tabs to be below the panel. This might be a theme issue. I 
could not find it in settings.
Second. There are several web sites that reject Chrome. In Firefox there 
is a mode to pretend it is IE. Is there a way in Chrome to fool the site 
into thinking it is Firefox. (Again, I have not really researched this).
