Redirect Tab Closer Extension

Automatically closes the Bluejeans, Zoom, WebEx and Slack tabs that are created when launching a meeting or a Slack link.

Uses Chrome Context Script to send a message to a background page to close the tab. Requires no special permissions (except access to the redirect page with Bluejeans, Zoom or Slack URLs). Based on the Zoom Closer extension.

Will try to extend this in the future to allow for user-configurable URLs that will get auto-closed.
