I have a relatively wimpy laptop and Chromium tends to be very slow on it. I switched to the new Firefox and it's noticeably quicker, however its titlebar takes up a lot of screen real-estate (I have a 13" screen).
Does anyone know how to get the tabs-in-titlebar behavior that Chrome (and Firefox on Windows/macOS) has? I found an extension, but it doesn't work in Firefox 57:

You should try some webkit2 based minimal browser. If you are vim user, try vimb. or uzbl-browser is also a good option. Surf/lariza are even lighter, if you can do with such barebone configs.

@Docbroke: Those minimal browsers are minimal in terms of UI, but not in terms of resource consumption. Webkit isn't much less bloated than blink. It's just how the modern web is - big engines required to run bigger and increasingly crappy coded websites.
@KerrickStaley: Not possible with version 57. Version 59 will have it. If you can't wait until then, use Firefox Nightly. Just note that Nightly can be rough, things may be broken. And even in Nightly, client-side decorations need to be explicitly enabled by going to about:config and setting widget.allow-client-side-decoration to true.

Perhaps try the Nightly version of Firefox with CSD enabled. https://i.imgur.com/3929ndd.png
@Gusar was faster, and I don't pay attention while reading.

Isn't that what OP is looking for, minimal UI, so that he can have more screen space for website display.

If you prefer to keep firefox, then you could run it in fullscreen mode, where toolbar and tabs are only visible when you move your mouse to the top of the screen. The titlebar and the bar/dock of your desktop are completely hidden.

I have used firefox in fullscreen mode, in past. But it hides web popups (like file-manger popup/ login popup etc., which may be important), as well as window-manager panels.

This is a one-line setup that I created for myself... I've been using Firefox 59 because it has the client-side decorations built in. You can use it with 57, but I noticed some positional errors and an issue with tabs not showing up the last time so you'd have to play with it a bit to get it just right.

I'm trying firefox 59 right now, It mostly works with CSD, but one thing i'm not able to do is to drag the window when using a theme different from the default one, even the builtin dark/light themes do not allow me to drag it.
-EDIT-
...and with all of the themes, i'm not even able to resize the main window by dragging the borders.

How do i use this css for my Firefox?
/edit: Ok, I installed nightly from aur and there is an option where you can disable the title bar.
Is there a XFWM-Theme that resembles Firefox' own window buttons?
/edit2: Oh well, the close button can't be clicked in the uppermost right corner, that sucks.
