On the contrary, it means that tabs relating to the same task are
grouped together (because they were opened from the same parent tab), so
they can be closed together when you are done.

Meanwhile, Firefox is adopting the same fast-tab-closing scheme, which
means Firefox's close buttons will stay on the right too.
