I noticed it, but what I noticed moreover is that chrome's tabs almost never make me angry. The only additional thing I'd like is a highlight around the last opened tab so I can find it more easily in the stack.

I imagine that could be done with an extension.

I'm pretty sure this is all deliberate. I remember a Chrome person pointing out this subtlety a long time ago.

This one one of my favorite features of Chrome. The default tab behavior is spot on!

Neat. But I use the middle click to close tabs, so it really doesn't matter where the close button is to me.

Me too, Otto, but even then the "keep tabs the same size but slide them over" lets you keep hitting the middle button to close tabs. The "don't resize the tabs until the mouse leaves the tab area" idea is pretty clever.
- Matt Cutts
Middle click on desktop mice, ctrl+w when normal browsing, x out when I have lots of tabs open.

@chrisfixedkitty That is excellent news. I wish avalon would do the same with our apartments.
I mean, robots.txt wasn't a "search engine" thing, it was a "robots" thing. Blocking the news UA doesn't really affect what gets crawled, Google doesn't generally double crawl pages anyway since that would waste your and our bandwidth. This is more of an indexing thing. I just find it confusing - which is not to say it's a bad idea. I'd argue the reverse, it's definitely way more useful than not.
- Greg Grothaus
I Agree. Of course there's a not so well known 'noindex' directive for robots.txt that Google obeys for ages now.
