Double Click Closes Tab
Double left/right or triple left clicks on WEBPAGE (not tab) to close tab. Reopen tab by shiftKey + DC/TC. Optional: an icon to…
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: After installation, double click on the WEB PAGE (NOT TAB!) to close the tab (OR to be safer: change the options to use double right click or triple left click on page) - it's actually faster than clicking on tabs. details see below.
To those wanting "double click on tab to close" - Google now made its own extension to do that and more. It uses a plugin mechanism that uses compiled binary code and presents a security risk unless you're sure you can trust the author (of course coming from Google it's likely fine). Without using such mechanism, Chrome extensions cannot receive tab events. Google's extension is called Chrome Toolbox. As for the guy asking me why ChromePlus could do it - answer's simple, ChromePlus is NOT Chrome. It has extra binary code too, and it's not from Google.
To those wanting "double right click" - Chrome now fixed their silly issue that prevented this feature, and I put it in DCCT v1.0.8. Please download & enjoy!
This extension offers the following functionalities:
1. Double left click or double right click anywhere inside web page to close the tab (faster than middle click on tab and beats ctrl-w when your left hand's holding a phone or food). Important: if you double left click to select a word, DCCT will not close the tab - no interference with Google Dictionary etc. Double right click always closes tab.
2. An icon that, when clicked, closes current tab. Option's provided to change to duplicate current tab when icon's clicked or hide the icon altogether.
3. No accidental closing of Chrome - option provided to disable closing the last tab of the last Chrome window (Note: click the "x" on top right corner of the last window to close Chrome).
4. A feature by user request (optional): Revert the browser behavior when one clicks or ctrl+clicks on a link - clicking link would open link in new background tab instead, while ctrl+click opens link in current tab.
Misc.:
1. If double click is not ideal for you, use the Options page to switch to Triple Clicks. Note: Unlike double-click, triple-click will close the tab even if you triple-clicked on a word.
2. If you accidentally closed a tab - use shift-key + double-click (or triple-click if chosen) to reopen the tab.
3. The icon shows red checkmark if Chrome disabled ALL mouse/keyboard-interacting extensions. A green checkmark's displayed otherwise.
4. Mouseover icon will give you some tips/info.
Known issues:
1. Reverting click/ctrl-click has problems with links with javascripts (on themselves or their parents) - e.g., yahoo mail. It's a very tricky issue and I haven't found a way to deal with it. Maybe a blacklist?
2. If the "do not close last tab" feature seems to be unstable for you, try this first - Go to Chrome "Options"->"Basics" and change "Home Page" from "New Tab" to "http://google.com". Then "OK" then try to close the last tab again. It should hopefully

Does what says on the can. Double click on the page, not on the tab! Always pissed by the smallness of (x) when closing, tis gonna be a nice life hack. Tnx author!
useless
It does nothing.
Little finicky to get started but does what it says it will do. Would be nice to have an option to have the chosen click count/combination work only when clicking on the tab itself. I was just looking for a middle mouse button click-to-close shortcut replacement when my laptop is not docked/my mouse isn't connected and all I have is the touchpad, so I don't mind going up to the tab itself to perform the click procedure to open/close the tab.

这个不是双击标签关闭网页，而是在网页页面双击关闭网页，非常不好用。
doesnot work

确实能用 但是要是能在标签上双击就更舒服了 现在的网站各种塞满元素 想要找块空地还真不容易。。。。。。。
这个软件通常情况下可以运行但是在一部分网页却失效了，这是很尴尬的一个问题。
не найду никак "открытие ссылки в новой вкладке одним нажатием правой кнопкой"
好用，爱了
注意是双击网页空白处关闭标签页。 在微软的新版Edge上依然有效。不过在Chrome 网上应用店中无效。
good but closes page when double click on video

It works great, but could you please add an "Excluded websites" function?

这个插件在浏览器设置页和空白标签页无效，和鼠标手势插件一样存在这个问题，不知道有没有可以在这些页面生效的关闭标签页插件和鼠标手势插件？
doesnt work. b1tch
有的可以有的不可以，不很实用
没有用，双击空白处也没用
左键在网页区域双击关闭当前页，这个没问题，可是容易错误触发；设置换成右键双击，失效；最后只好设置成左键三击，没有问题，但是稍显繁琐
好评，其实双击网页空白处比在标签页上双击范围大多了，用习惯了其实方便得多。
双击左键容易误操作，在选项里改成双击右键就好多了
shift+double click会陷入死循环，我服了

双击网页空白处就能关闭，比双击标签页更方便！
Отличная идея, идиотское воплощение! После каждого старта браузера все настройки уничтожаются, вкладки закрываются обычным кликом левой кнопкой. Я настраиваю на двойной правый клик, но расширение САМО меняет на идиотскую настройку - левый клик. Вкладки постоянно закрываются без спроса!
shame no dble click on tab to close but happy to have this, Maxthon did the tab and was a great feature, so quick.

It doesn't work after the release of new version of Chrome(70.0.3538.77). I like this tool, hope it could get fixed.
