When I dismiss a tab, Chrome then focuses the most recent tab I had opened. This can be especially frustrating when its a tab in a different window. Maybe it's always behaved this way, but I thought I recall it going to the previous adjacent tab after closing a tab.

Is there a Chrome flag to change this so that it focuses an adjacent tab (previous or next) to the tab being closed?

I just discovered the issue. I was using a Chrome Extension called Popup Tab Switcher that included a "Switch to previously used tab" setting that was enabled by default. Nothing changed with the default Chrome behaviour as originally suspected.
