The pause is actually a feature, the tab resizing is delayed so that the next tab's close button will be positioned under your cursor.
FWIW Firefox and Edge both do the same thing.
- JoshMnem 9y agoI'm referring to the after-close animation. To reproduce, open a Chrome window and open enough tabs to fill the top (ctrl-t), and then add a few more. Then click on a tab in the middle somewhere to select it. Close a few tabs quickly with ctrl-w. The tabs will close quickly enough, but then there is an artificial delay before all the other tabs shift over to fill the space on the right. It only a second, but I work quickly and have usually started to move onto a new task by then. The animation breaks my concentration. It's a problem for people who are especially aware of visual motion. If there were a way to turn it off, it would be fine, but I haven't found a way.
