Slack Tab (Webpage) Closer Extension

This extension will automatically close the tab (or webpage) opened by Slack when opening a link to a channel, a message or a thread. There's no need to close it manually.

As soon as the tab is opened by Slack, a 10 second timer will begin. When the timer reaches 0, the tab will close. It's that simple! This countdown starting value can be changed in the settings.

This extension is also privacy focused. It has no analytics or tracking, nor any external dependencies.

Please note this extension is not endorsed by or affiliated with Slack.

The icon for this extension was created and designed by, my friend, Danial. ❤️
