In Opera (I don't know about other browsers) you can have non-maximized tabs, just right-click on any tab button and select "Restore", it is now a window like you describe, you can move it around but it remains confined in the main Opera workspace. Likewise, you can then right-click on the title bar of this window and select "Maximize". But there is still a button representing this tab/window in the tab bar, or at least I get it.
The first image shows my normal setup, I clicked on the green link ("new window") and the "window" marked in blue appeared, which is represented by the button marked in red in the tab bar. You can see how this window disappears behind the right bar, where I have some search boxes and blurred out links. (Ignore the "djelibeibi" thing on the bottom right corner, it's just another always-on-top app.)
The second image is just after I right-clicked on the tab button and selected "detach" (and then resized and moved the now desktop-level Opera window). Note that now the new window is a full Opera one, with button bar, tab bar, etc., but it's only limited by the desktop.
For the third image I checked the "Open windows instead of tabs" option in the preferences, as I said, and clicked again on the "new window" link. Now the new window does not have the button bars, but again is not limited by the parent Opera window.
Isn't this what you meant?
