That Missing Close button

Why the %#@# do they insist on hiding the close button on browser tabs?

(IE 9 in image above)
I know it appears when you point at it, but the number of times I've accidentally closed a tab when I was just trying to select it, because the close icon wasn't there when I clicked!
Chrome is a little better. At least there's a pale grey x to remind you.
Firefox is similar.
I'd just like the icon to be a little bit more blatant at all times. But IE's approach of hiding it completely just sucks!
