Novel? oh, please... My lont/time favourite browser Mosaic had a 
detachable toolbar since long, long (on unix). Although at first maybe a 
bit confusing for people accustomed to other browsers, it works pretty 
well. also a popupmenu with all open documents (on mac) and the *lack* 
of tabs made the whole experience pretty interesting.
