Position Tab Close button to the left on macOS

Reported by ugurcan....@gmail.com, May 6 2018 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.139 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open Safari or Opera
2. Compare Chrome tab close button with other browsers on macOS
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
Chrome should follow macOS UI on Mac.

What went wrong?
On macOS, Safari the default browser provided by Apple positions tab close button on the left side of tabs since buttons are generally positioned on the left on macOS (e.g. traffic light buttons close app, shring and fullscreen buttons are on the left compared to Windows)

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 66.0.3359.139  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.13.4
Flash Version: 

With Material Refresh for Chrome, you can make Chrome to follow the line with macOS specific UI. Opera also follows Safari.

Thanks for the report. I think the close button on macOS will stay on the right side for platform parity reasons. See also  issue 12035  which is wontfix.

btw: It is too early to file bugreports against MDrefresh. I also have to wait at least 1 month before I can file them :)

Thanks for reply. I understand your concerns, just want to recall the request while UI refresh is near the corner. 

Oh, I see. I will wait until mid-June :)
