About

This extension enhances Chrome's mouse navigation by adding a convenient tab-closing feature. It preserves the default middle-click behavior—allowing you to open links in new tabs—but also enables you to close a tab by middle-clicking on an empty area of the page. This makes browsing smoother and more efficient for users who prefer mouse-based navigation.
