Notes:

* To enable this extension in \"incognito\" window mode or for \"file:///\" URLs, you will need to provide permissions for this by going to \"chrome://extensions\".

* Close Tab by Double Right Click implements an alternative approach for closing \"chrome:///\", \"about:blank\" and other special tabs. This is due to technical limitations of Chrome API. In these tabs, you would find a \"Close Tab\" context-menu entry which is shown when you right click anywhere on the page.

* To configure the extension further, please visit \"chrome://extensions/\" > \"Details\" (for this extension) > \"Extension options\"

* The idea of this extension is inspired by \"Rights To Close\" extension for Mozilla Firefox.
