Kirk Mitchell (ID: 000000b8c5fff3bc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/20/2017 Simple. Does what it says. Good options for what tabs to close (newest, oldest, etc). I like the option to pin tabs I want it to ignore. That lets me have perma-open tabs (like email) while the others are taken care of. Thanks developer.

Sarah Lasair Berry (ID: 0000001488069e0b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/07/2015 Oh my goodness! I swear that nearly every developer on this store is OBSESSED with closing the OLDER tabs! YOU ARE MY HERO BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT!!! People don't seem to realise that I have older tabs open for a reason. I'd rather it prevent me from opening newer tabs than destroying the ones I already have. ;)
