Image from store Close on Back
Description from store Very useful when you open a tab but want to close in directly. This extension will also work with the extra history back buttons you might have on your mouse or with keyboard shortcuts.

  • (2023-05-17) Makalo: not working with mouse so where is the back button lol? Click it literally? Whats the point?!
  • (2023-02-17) Michael Adrian: Please make this work in Edge? I could not find one that works for Edge.
  • (2023-01-19) Michael Johnson: This should be built-in web browsers!! Only regret is it won't work on tabs loading "forever" (spinning favicon) like direct hd .jpeg picture links and sometimes even reddit take +3s to load
  • (2022-08-03) eunjun lee: 엉엉
  • (2022-01-28) Alex D: A simply indispensable addon. Thanks! EDIT: Does not work in Microsoft Edge, unfortunately.
  • (2021-12-16) A F: It's perfect! exactly what I wanted Some websites just open files in new tabs when you click on them, now I can use my mouse back button to go back. It just doesn't work on new tabs which is fine by me
  • (2020-09-03) 김현진: 사파리에서만 되던 기능을 크롬에서도 쓸 수 있어서 너무 좋습니다. 진짜 좋아요.
  • (2020-07-20) David Prioriello: I can't this to work. Please fix!!
  • (2019-05-01) F Amann: I like it. But can you add a function that when it closed the tab by clicking back that it reopens the tab if i click forward?
  • (2018-10-16) Phương Trần Đức: Nice design and good idea
  • (2018-09-23) Nizar: Can you also do a reopen last tab on no more forward? Basically to counteract a misjudged back that ends up closing a wanted new tab.
  • (2018-09-11) Thomas McGinnis: This would get a higher rating from me because it is indispensible, but I've discovered that it interferes with the Google Calendar, specifically quite often when I try to edit a calendar event, the browser tab closes. If I turn off the "Close on Back" extension, the problem goes away. This is a bug that should be fixable.
  • (2018-08-09) Alex M: This was the only thing keeping me from using Chrome. I'm so use to using "Back IS Close" in Firefox I just couldn't get use to Chrome without it. Firefox has a lot of problems and has for years... I can now use Chrome the way I want and it does seem to work better than Firefox!
  • (2017-10-22) Laurenz: It works, but sometimes causes issues with Momentum Dash (https://momentumdash.com/), which yields an ugly-loking "chrome-extension://invalid/" page for new tabs
  • (2017-09-08) mark ifi: This works, but it hangs a little bit long after opening a tab. Still five starts, because it's the only one that works.
  • (2017-08-31) Nicole Palmer: This works great, thank you! Have you considered porting this extension over to Firefox? With the migration of Firefox to WebExtensions, users are left without any way to get a similar experience.
  • (2017-08-17) Kay P.: Works well with the keyboard AND mouse! The only downside is, that a tab must have finished loading before it can be closed this way.
