The tabstrip is still laid out LTR even when the browser is in RTL locales. There is partial support for RTL layout with --enable-features=ExperimentalMacRTL, but major functionality (tab dragging, rapid close) is broken under that flag.
mac-rtl flag doesn't have any effect as tested on Mac OS 10.12.5 on the latest canary version: 61.0.3143.0.
lgrey@: Could you please confirm if this is still WIP.
