Close Other Tabs+ Extension

Close Other Tabs+ is a browser extension designed to simplify tab management. With this tool, you can close, pin, unpin, group, or ungroup multiple tabs at once.

The context menu items (referred to as \"actions\" in Close Other Tabs+) shown in the screenshots are just the default settings. You can remove or edit any of them or add new ones. What each action does is up to you. For instance, you might choose to close tabs to the left in the current window. Or close all tabs in all windows with the same domain as the active tab, including pinned ones. Or perhaps you want to close all groups except the current one - that's possible, too!

The extension provides two context menus:
Extension icon menu: Right-click the extension icon in the toolbar to access this menu, which can contain up to six actions.
Page menu: Right-click on any webpage and select \"Close Other Tabs+\" to access this menu, where you can include as many actions as you like.

Clicking the extension icon will immediately close other tabs. If you prefer a different action, you can set any action as the \"Main action\" in the settings.

Close Other Tabs+ also supports keyboard shortcuts. To assign a hotkey to an action, follow these steps:
1. Open the extension settings and go to the \"Actions\" section.
2. Expand the \"Actions\" dropdown and note the index of the action to which you want to assign a hotkey.
3. Go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts, locate Close Other Tabs+, and assign a hotkey to Action X, where X is the index of your chosen action.

🔑 Optional permissions

Read your browsing history
The extension will only request this permission if you use the filter-by-URL features, in which case it will need it to distinguish between tabs with different URLs.

비틀쥬스 (ID: 0000004486057f5b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/10/2020 It's very good. Thank the developer. We need two more features. 1. If the number of tabs exceeds a certain number, you need to automatically close other tabs. 2. Shortcut setting is required.
