Implement a setting item to show or hide "Drag Space" above tabs, to grab and drag the window easily in the new UI since Chrome 69)

Reported by potassiu...@gmail.com, Oct 30

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.77 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Launch Chrome 69+

What is the expected behavior?
We want Chrome to have a setting item like "Show drag space".
Please show the attached file.

What went wrong?
The width at the top of the window (a space above the tab) is too narrow, so it is hard to grab and drag the window.

The new UI since Chrome 69 causes this issue.
Because of this UI, some people feel hard to use Chrome.

Firefox has a setting item to show / hide "Drag Space", and I want Chrome to implement the same one.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 70.0.3538.77  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: 

Please show the attached images.

Even so, the drag space of Firefox is still narrow for me.
However, Firefox also has a setting item to show or hide "Title Bar".
The "Title Bar" is tall enough to grab, so Firefox with "Title Bar" is the easiest to grab.
Just for your information, the designated drag space for Chrome 69+ is the space between New Tab Button and window control buttons (minimize and Co.). You can notice that tab row never expand close to window control buttons since Chrome 69.

Reporter@ Thanks for the issue.

As per the above description, this looks like a feature request to add setting item to show or hide "Drag Space" above tabs.
Marking this as Untriaged for further updates from Dev.

See comment 2; the primary drag space is the horizontal space between NTB and caption buttons.  I would have preferred more space above the top of the tabs to drag, but for inactive tabs, the drag handle extends down into the tab somewhat to make things a little easier.

We don't plan to provide customization options for this.

Comment 7 Deleted

I already knew the circumstance of comment 2.
However, it is very inconvenient, for example, when the right half of the window is hidden in another window - like this screenshot.

In the screenshot, I open Youtube in the 1st tab, Google in 2nd, and Twitter in the 3rd tab.
I want to drag Chrome window to left top, without switching tabs.
Where to grab?

I have to type "Alt+Tab" or click Chrome icon on taskbar. The procedures increased.


Anyway, thank you for reading this
