It doesn't work well, i had 6 windows open, 306 tabs open, i had to close 44 tabs on the left and it closed me more than 90 in addition to the current window. Compared with other extensions, it's the only one that gave me this problem, i done the same test with all of them.

Luis Santos (ID: 000000f6e80d07ad) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/14/2019 I liked! But it's not working all the time. And, sometimes, is closing tabs from other windows, not the active one only.
