Closes all chrome tabs according to search list.
Tab Search Cleanup Extension
Many of the tabs I have to close are just duplicates of the same pages, like Jira/Confluence, search tabs, or other services I'll re-open anyway next time I need them.
So I designed this extension to help me fight the cluttering in my Chrome tabs by going through a pre-defined search list and closing all tabs in which URLs appear in the list.
You can also get a list of closed tabs, post-closing, and restore any tab you still need or closed by mistake.
Directions for use:
1) click the extension icon to open the popup.
2) enter any search text in the text box, press \"add\" or \"enter\".
3) you can add as many search strings as you would like, they will be saved for you.
4) to remove a search string, click it in the list.
5) to close the tabs filtered by the search list, click \"Close Tabs\".
6) after tabs were closed, press \"Last Closed Tabs\" to see a list and restore tabs. (you can also use the built-in history in chrome).
