Description

Double right click anywhere on the page to close the active tab. Open source: * https://github.com/webextensions/close-tab-by-double-right-click Created by: * Priyank Parashar Notes: * To enable this extension in "incognito" window mode or for "file:///" URLs, you will need to provide permissions for this by going to "chrome://extensions". * Close Tab by Double Right Click implements an alternative approach for closing "chrome:///", "about:blank" and other special tabs. This is due to technical limitations of Chrome API. In these tabs, you would find a "Close Tab" context-menu entry which is shown when you right click anywhere on the page. * To configure the extension further, please visit "chrome://extensions/" > "Details" (for this extension) > "Extension options" * The idea of this extension is inspired by "Rights To Close" extension for Mozilla Firefox.

Appreciate the effort, but coming up with new and worse ways to do something, which has already been done properly is pretty stupid - what's wrong with double left click on tab? I've been using it for 15 years on Maxthon and absolutely love it. Unfortunately no developer cares to do it for Chrome. It is available as only 1 of many functions of a very heavy extension, which i don't care for either. Shame, that after years such simple function is still unavailable for Chrome.

Doesn't work on my installation of Chrome. When I double-right-click, the context menu just flickers.

works well most of the time, with only a few times i had to manually close a tab because of a higher cpu usage (and when i pressed right click, it didn't give the option to close either) updated review: while mostly working, it also lagged my chrome a lot. given i don't use it that often, decided to uninstall instead for performance

Works fine, but what's up with the suspicious permissions? Are you logging browser traffic?

When I right click to copy text, one click closes the tab.
