This is so typical of Google's policies. They will not fix something just because users report it.

I wouldn't fix that "bug" either. I don't want confirmation dialogs all over the place. They are annoying when I try to close or delete. Yes, I clicked close on purpose.

Google has done a good job with some of their "undo" notifications; these work much better imho.

A "Don't ask me again" checkbox is a good compromise.

Especially considering there's a chrome option to have the startup tabs be the tabs that were last open. No dialogs necessary, just take me back to where I was.

That's hardly going to help average users.

Which is your personal opinion. Your personal opinion is not more important than the needs of a significant portion of users.

The proper question here has to be what pisses off more users and to what degree does it piss them off: Having to click "Don't ask me again" once after a fresh installation or repeatedly losing some tabs they had opened in the background, because they forgot about them.

Nobody should "fix" something only because users report it.

What's the Chromium bugtracker for, then? O.o

For reporting and tracking actual bugs.

Right, they should only implement that style of feature if it is bugging Chrome Devs http://googlemac.blogspot.com/2011/06/q-i-didnt-mean-to-do-t...

That simply isn't a bug, it's a feature suggestion that was rejected.
