Intuitive is defined as without conscious reasoning, so no, Menus and Buttons do need you to think, take chrome, up there, top right, for starters I need to click on three horizontal lines then;

New tab New window

What could anyone infer from the terms 'tab' or 'window' without some prior knowledge, these interfaces succeed because the cost of failure is low and the level of feedback and reward is high, so we persevere, an intuitive interface would require a whole new conceptual model of how we interact with data. No, I don't have one to show you, I am fairly certain that existing approaches will appear draconian to our children's children though :)
