Description from store

Limit the number of open tabs. Tabs are automatically closed when you surpass the limit, based on a rule you can specify.

Options allow to
1. set the tab limit
2. specify the discard rule
3. leave the pinned tabs untouched
4. show the current number of tabs in the icon

The following discard rules are included: Either close the oldest tab, the newest tab (avoids auto-closing tabs), the least recently used tab, the least frequently used tab, or a random tab.

Kosta Karakashyan 2024-12-10: Works well but it never remembers the settings I save it on - if I save 10 tabs, close the newest, then sometimes it will revert to the old options, closing 5 tabs and my oldest ones. I would love it if the settings saved correctly every time.
Clarice Y 2024-09-02: Worked great as part of my tab organization toolbox, up until today. Used it to count/limit the amount of tabs I had per window. New update killed all but 10 of the 400+ tabs I had open. Doesn't show the number of tabs per window anymore. Closed all my tabs individually, so the Chrome history function was unable to restore all the tabs in my windows. "Recently discarded tabs" only showed up to 100. Even after saving the max number of tabs as 50, restoring tabs after Chrome closed still killed everything but 10 tabs (again). Hopefully you can fix the bugs, but I'm too stressed from losing tabs to use it right now.
Man M 2024-09-01: September 1, 2024 update broke it (today). You can't set the tabs on the pop-up. It opens an entire page (which doesn't work). Uninstalled after 5 years of use.

Kirk Mitchell 2017-04-20: Simple. Does what it says. Good options for what tabs to close (newest, oldest, etc). I like the option to pin tabs I want it to ignore. That lets me have perma-open tabs (like email) while the others are taken care of. Thanks developer.

Sarah Lasair Berry 2015-05-07: Oh my goodness! I swear that nearly every developer on this store is OBSESSED with closing the OLDER tabs! YOU ARE MY HERO BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT!!! People don't seem to realise that I have older tabs open for a reason. I'd rather it prevent me from opening newer tabs than destroying the ones I already have. ;)

Alex Johnson 2014-09-15: This is a good plugin which does what it says. The only feature it's missing is the option to prompt before closing a tab. Instead, it just closes it automatically. What if opening a new tab closes the blog post you've spent an hour writing? Doesn't have to be a default, but an option would be nice.

Jaime Guajardo 2014-09-10: Does exactly what it needs to do with different options of how to close tabs when limit is reached. Good job.
