Its weird too because chrome invented to UX when closing lots of tabs not to reflow the browser UI but keep placing their close X under the mouse until you move away. So its like they understood this once and have forgotten.

Have you used the latest Chrome with the redesign? The tab's X no longer has any hover effects, or doesn't seem to.

After the last few days of wondering about this, I see now that hovering over the X makes is ~5% darker.

Oh yeh I looked at the X on the current tab and didn't agree. The close X on background tabs hover is basically indistinguishable.
