abandoned game???

Is this new?  I accidentally closed my browser, quickly got back within a few seconds, but when I came back to live chess I lost the game because I "abandoned."  Does this mean that all of those people who have been "disconnecting" for so many years will now register a loss when they disconnect?

Which part is common?  Why is exiting a browser treated differently than disconnecting?
