- soamv 16y agoA quick google image search for Arabic versions of windows shows that they have the close button on the left and the window title on the right. So it is possible that chrome is simply mimicking windows behaviour.
- jessriedel 16y agoWhy? My theory is just that browsers are developed primarily for English, and that both Safari and Chrome put the close-tab buttons on the same side as the close-windows buttons for their respective primary operating system. Chrome in Arabic was developed as an afterthought, and it was just easier to flip the whole UI around.
