I love Web technologies but an HTML TAB is never going to feel the same as =
the OS Native TAB.

If by TAB you mean the UI element (and not the soft drink, or
something else), then I think it's worth pointing out that, on OS X,
the tabs in your Firefox window aren't native. They are XUL stylized
to look like native tabs (CSS at
https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/themes/pinstripe/bro=
wser.css#2113).
There's nothing preventing you from stylizing HTML the same way.
