More easy and fast way to close tabs.
Version 2.0 is here.
v2.0 Changelog:
------------------------
• Extension name is renamed to 'Close This Tab'.
• New Options/Settings page.
• New in-page closer positions added.
• You can change thickness of the in-page closers.
• Toolbar icon is added. Clicking to the toolbar icon will close the active tab.
• You can change toolbar icon image.

• Preferences synced with Chrome (if signed in).
Features:
---------------
• You can close tab by clicking in-page closer or toolbar icon.
• In-Page closer only appears when you move the mouse cursor to the selected edge of the active window.
• You can change the features of in-page closer, like hover color, thickness, click event type and position.
• Alternatively, toolbar icon can close tabs.
Limitations:
------------------
Since Chrome is not allowing, In-Page closers could not be embedded into the following pages:
chrome:// - chrome-extension:// - chrome-devtools:// - view-source: - data: - chrome.google.com/webstore/ - New tab page.
But, toolbar icon will work on all pages without any limitation.
Note on permissions:
--------------------------------
• "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit" - That is necessary to insert In-Page closers to pages. I do not read YOUR data from any website, nor do i modify it.

- (2020-09-17) Sam Nordberg: Seriously speeds up my browsing. It is incredibly convenient to have this feature. Perfect for keybaord-free, mouse-only browsing. Much quicker for me than the rival extensions that have you double-right-click to close the tab.
- (2020-08-12) Richard Finch: I never knew how badly I wanted this feature until I tried it. Now there is no way I can live without it. My productivity in dealing with lots of tabs is exponentially better. I used to keep one hand on the mouse, one hand on control-W but now I sit back and let the mouse do all the world. Genius idea perfectly implemented.

Hi Like the extension - thank you I can't get the icon in menu bar options to stick - it can change the appearance, but doesn't save either "show menu" or "disable" - hence always defaults to close tab using Chrome latest Thanks - (2018-07-15, v:2.0.5) how do i disable the left side pop up close this tab, but keep the one in right
how do i disable the left side pop up close this tab, but keep the one in right - (2018-06-16, v:2.0.5) Peter Liepmann: "read and change all your data on the website you visit"
Create an option to delete this permission. I'd rather have to close/reopen Chrome than have the security risk. - (2017-05-18, v:2.0.4) Gurkan Yilmaz: does not work anymore
Hi, it seems that it does not work anymore. rgds - (2017-02-24, v:2.0) Tero Mäkinen: New permissions
Hello Your updated app nees permission to "read and change all your data on the website you visit" Why on earth would I want to give your app permission to do that?
