First chrome window should be centered within the screen

Project Member Reported by bettes@chromium.org, May 25 2017

Issue description

Windows 10
v58

Upon downloading Chrome for the first time on a windows 10 machine, the first Chrome window is positioned awkwardly on the screen, full length and to the side. 

Expected:
First Chrome window should be centered, occupying 90% of screen width, 85% of screen height 

Actual: 
First Chrome window takes up about ~60% of the screen, full length and positioned to the far left

ccing some engineers who might be able to fix this, as well as ewald in case this change was intentional with new FRE? I don't think so though.
There is the Windows default placement behavior (cascading sized windows) and intentional placement.

I would guess that Edge has intentionally placed their Window right in the middle for the welcome experience for Win10.

Should we also go down this route, what do we do for subsequent windows? Do these cascade as well? Opening one on top of another doesn't seem optimal in this case.
>> what do we do for subsequent windows? Do these cascade as well?

Yup. Following the Mac OSX model would be great. No need to re-invent the wheel here.

This was not intentional with the new FRE. Was this a regression with the new FRE? Did we used to vertically/horizontally center the first window with the old FRE?
This was not a result of the new FRE. This is a new request.
