Danijel Milisic (ID: 0000001ba7ebe4f7) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/29/2023 Great idea, but if often closes a wrong tab. I have multiple chrome windows open, and this extension is constantly closing the wrong tab (from another window) :(

icon

Wayne Andrews (ID: 000000741d46edec) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/20/2023 As a habitual tab hoarder, any tool that will close a tab for me without my input is welcome and takes away the internal struggle between questioning "whether I'll need that in future" or which window did that open to? Honours have been given for less. Thank you!
