Description from store

More easy and fast way to close tabs.

Allows you to easily close tabs with in-page elements.

Features:
----------------
• You can close the active tab by clicking to the selected in-page edge element.
• In-page element only appears when you move the mouse cursor to the selected edge.
• You can change the features of the in-page element, like hover color, thickness, click event type and position.
• Use toolbar icon or context menu to close tabs.

Limitations:
--------------------
Since Chrome is not allowing, we can't add in-page element into the following pages:
chrome:// - chrome-extension:// - chrome-devtools:// - view-source: - data: - chrome.google.com/webstore/ - New tab page.

But, toolbar icon and context menu options will continue to work on all pages without any limitation.

Note on permissions:
-----------------------------------
• with v4.0, new "scripting" permission request added. In previous versions, i was using "chrome.tabs.executeScript()" to reflect settings changes into pages, but with Manifest V3, it is moved to "chrome.scripting.executeScript()", which requires "scripting" permission.

• "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit" - That is necessary to insert In-Page element into pages. I do not read your data from any website, nor do i modify it.

Instructions for close all tabs please

Excellent. Love this extension! It's my all-time favorite. Many, many thanks for the years of closing tabs so easily and keeping up to date. 😍

SERIOUSLY love this extension... probably in my top 3 favorite of all time. Please make sure to update it so it will work with the newer version!

no longer works on some sites after I re-installed Chrome/ remove / re added this extension doesn't help

Caleb Murdock 2024-05-26

I installed this extension in Vivaldi, which is based on Chrome (Chrome extensions work in Vivaldi). In Settings, Vivaldi is set to shift the tab focus to the tab to the left when a tab is deleted. With this extension installed, that's not happening. Also, after using the red bar at the left margin, the bare doesn't always appear on the next page that I want to delete. I've decided to delete the extension. What I REALLY want is an X to the right of all the tabs, so I can always go to that X to close whatever tab I want to delete.

Just started using this extension today but I'm already totally sold on it & thankful I gave it a try after I came across it randomly. A bit of background context: I had installed a couple different extensions over the past few weeks that added different functionalities to Chrome that should, in theory, make closing out of whichever one of the many tabs I have open at any given point easier/faster/more streamlined. I tried extensions for right click to close, context menu to close, double click to close, etc. but had yet to settle on one that actually felt truly helpful to me. Not only is this one, in fact, truly helpful, but it's customizable as well so you're able to choose your own color for the side bar, set it's thickness & transparency, decide between written text or a simple icon appearing when you hover over the bar, etc. I can already tell it will save me time & make my life easier so what more could I ask for!?

What a great idea! So useful. An option to prevent closing of pinned tabs would be great.

Jeffrey Nichtberger 2023-07-14

Brilliant idea. Highly customizable extension with an inventive & efficient approach for closing tabs. Works pretty well (but can take a bit of time before it renders in) and I like being able to configure it exactly how I want it to behave and look. However, it messes up the vertical scrolling of web pages when you have the bottom bar type selected (the only one that is suitable for a multi-monitor setup). It needs a toggle to hide its vertical scroll bar, just as there is already a toggle for hiding the impact on the horizontal scroll bar. Until that is in place, I can't really use this extension effectively due to my multiple monitors. Future improvements that should get made: No limit for the max bar width, let you select multiple zones to place the bar, allow for clicking on content behind the bar when 'double click to trigger' is selected, and let us pick the icon used in the context menu entry just as can be done for the extension icon.

Possibilità di personalizzare l'aspetto grafico dell'icona sulla barra; 4 pulsanti in 1 di rapida scelta. Amazing! The best !

Расширение обновилось и изменилось в ХУДШУЮ сторону. Иконка специально стала ужасной, поменять ее теперь нельзя. Отключить совсем зону клика нельзя. Основные функции, которыми только и пользовался, стали ПЛАТНЫМИ. Удаляю и прощаюсь.

Excellent extension! I miss it so much when I use other than Chrome browsers. Are there any similar extensions with the side bars, not just a close-button, for Firefox and Edge?

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.

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.

Very useful, just what I was looking for. Works perfectly, thank you.
