About

More easy and fast way to close tabs.

Allows you to easily close tabs with in-page elements.


Features:
----------------
• You can close the active tab by clicking to the selected in-page edge element.
• In-page element only appears when you move the mouse cursor to the selected edge.
• You can change the features of the in-page element, like hover color, thickness, click event type and position.
• Use toolbar icon or context menu to close tabs.


Limitations:
--------------------
Since Chrome is not allowing, we can't add in-page element into the following pages:
chrome:// - chrome-extension:// - chrome-devtools:// - view-source: - data: - chrome.google.com/webstore/ - New tab page.

But, toolbar icon and context menu options will continue to work on all pages without any limitation.


Note on permissions:
-----------------------------------
• with v4.0, new "scripting" permission request added. In previous versions, i was using "chrome.tabs.executeScript()" to reflect settings changes into pages, but with Manifest V3, it is moved to "chrome.scripting.executeScript()", which requires "scripting" permission.

• "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit" - That is necessary to insert In-Page element into pages. I do not read your data from any website, nor do i modify it.
