Chrome's tab code is a lot more complicated than it might appear; I pity
the person who would attempt to rewrite it.  (Complex drag and drop
behaviors, multiple types of animations in the icons, different sizes of
tabs and positioning behavior, animations,
http://www.theinvisibl.com/2009/12/08/chrometabs/ ...)

I think the only practical way to implement this would be if the top
panel exposed an API for us to inject our tab strip in the right place.
(The panel used to support panel applets, which more or less do exactly
this; it would be a cool hack to make a "chrome tabs" panel applet, much
like how the window switcher used to work.  I think all this applet
stuff has been removed in recent Ubuntus though.)
