It isn’t perfect (as it doesn’t allow you to always see the URL you’re visiting), but it’ll be great on computers for which space is at a premium. This feature’s only available in the Windows builds of Canary, and it isn’t enabled by default. To enable it, just head to about:flags and toggle “Compact Navigation” on. Restart Canary, right click on the tab bar, then hit “Hide Toolbar” to use the compact version.

Friday, May 20, 2011 at 11:35 AMThat unused space isn’t Chrome, just switched it on and the tabs are against the top of the screen.
Pretty swanky.

Friday, May 20, 2011 at 9:12 PMThanks Regan & Tim. It’s been one of my questions about chrome on a Mac for a while now. It just seems like dead space seeing as you can drag the window by clicking elsewhere. So I don’t need it but just can’t get rid of it.
