Do you think the tabs should have a tooltip indicating that they can be closed with a click? Somehow it's hard for me to remember that that feature exists.
?Yeah, it's probably a good idea. ?(something like the clear URL button).
I'd say just reintroduce the close button alongside click-to-close. That way you're not changing a familiar, intuitive user interface users would expect from other applications, but you've still got a useful shortcut for more advanced users.
AFAIS, this idea looks like the best trade off so far. Although I'd hoped a tooltip label to be enough hint, the single close button to the right is more obvious, and it can bear a tooltip that lists the other ways to close a tab. The tooltip is effective because almost everything in the panel has one, so at some point the user will explore them. As for one close button per tab label, I'd prefer not to.
[...] Dillo's way is quite convenient once you get used to it, but it's harder for new users because it breaks with other applications' conventions.
