James Ness (ID: 000000f88cc041f5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/02/2021 Simple to use. I also use the close tabs to the left and to the right buttons. Just works, no fuss. The rights on these need sorted as Chrome keeps disabling them. As there is no contact for the developer, I'm asking them to rectify this as this is a very good extension (along with the two companion ones mentioned).

Manuel Chaves (ID: 000000be23c95c03) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/04/2017 I use these 3 extensions a lot. One thing I would really like is if it would ignore, not close, tabs that are emitting sound, as sometimes I close accidentally tabs im listening to, thanks
