relocate 'favicon', tab title and close button to bottom of card for Chrome Home tab card view

Reported by billdill...@gmail.com, Apr 29 2017 
Steps to reproduce the problem:
I have a suggestion for the tab card screen in Chrome Home because closing tabs is quite a thumb stretch: 'flip' the tab cards so the favicon, tab title and close button are at the bottom of the tab card instead of the top. I made a very quick image showing what I mean.

My apologies if this is already being worked on or if this was already rejected.

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
see above

Did this work before? N/A

Thanks for the feedback and potential screenshot! It's something for which we've heard from other users and are thinking about.

I think this is also the perfect opportunity to fix the issue of the close tab button being in the wrong place when in landscape view. Having the close tab button switch to being in the left corner when in landscape view is very inconsistent

While this is a good idea for improvement, it's not easily doable with our current overlapping card stack tab UI. We'll consider how we can address this feedback in the future.

But Android (at least on my phone) does the same app card view for both landscape and portrait and it's fine, it's just what you would expect. Why would Chrome not be the same? See attached screenshot

I'm not sure I understand. The title bar is at the top, not bottom, of the app cards in the Android app switcher.

Sorry, I should have opened a separate bug because it's a different issue. I thought because they're related I could talk about it here. I'll open a separate bug later today

Comment 11 by billdill...@gmail.com, Jun 23 2017 

here's the bug I should have filed earlier https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=736294

Coming back to this because if you only have 1 or 2 tabs open, the thumb stretch you have to do to close a tab is extreme and it really stands out now that I'm used to everything being on the lower portion of the screen. I hope an alternative is being looked at

Something kinda funny about this: the close tab button is actually further away in Chrome Home vs normal Chrome (see attached screenshot)
