Jeffrey Nichtberger (ID: 0000000d072fb66e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/14/2023 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.
