    One other papercut: It would be nice if middle-clicking on a tab closed it, like in Firefox.

    @bwiernik, @safonso: How universal is this? I've always just assigned my mouse's scroll-wheel button to Cmd-W so it can close any window, which seems more useful than relying on specific programs to support this.

    The middle click to close tab has been around forever, AFAIK, every browser has had it since Opera waaaaay back implemented tabs.

    As far as I can tell middle-click to close a tab is super universal, works in all modern browsers (across desktop OS landscape) as well as outside browsers in other tab-based UIs such as text editors, IDEs etc.

    Yeah, every tabbed program on my computer that I’ve tried supports it.
