When you close a tab, tabs could become larger because there is now more space for each one.

But in Chrome they aren't resized until your mouse leaves that area. This way you can close multiple tabs with clicking, no movement required.

This design quirk is so useful and amazing how others haven't though of it before (once you see it it seems such an obvious idea) that some days I think about looking through the Chromium source and finding the name of the developer who created this interface feature so he/she could be properly thanked.

It was designed and implemented by Ben Goodger, the front end lead.
