Tabs are too easy to tear off horizontally into windows

Project Member Reported by meh...@chromium.org, Sep 11 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: 63.0.3212.0 Canary
OS: macOS 10.12.6

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Open multiple tabs
(2) Drag a tab horizontally out of the window

What is the expected result?
It would be nice, if we could have a larger tab drag distance for the horizontal tear off of tabs into windows.

What happens instead?
The distance is very short at the moment.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Two screencasts are attached.

Thanks :-)

to clarify, is this a recent behavior change, or has it always been like this?

It has always been like this. It is more an idea/ a feature request after  issue 732133  has been fixed.

Just only an additional information: On OS=Windows the horizontal tear off of tabs into windows starts, when the mouse cursor reaches the left respectively the right edge of the tab. Attached two screenshot how it also could work on Mac. Thank you :-)

I think tear off has to begin where it does on the left because of the stop light buttons. If you drag the tab left it's not too many pixels before the tab would start sliding over the stop lights. The only alternative is to place the tab into a window and continue the drag from there.
