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. Changelog: ------------------- v4.0.x Coming Soon ... : • Binding actions. • Custom translations. New features: • Pinned tabs will not be closed (by default). • Store data in memory for faster access. Updates: • Upgraded to Chrome Manifest V3. • Closing multiple tabs is now faster. • The name of the extension has been changed to 'close_tab(s)'. • Some UI changes. Fixes: • Fixed an issue with slow-loading sites. v3.0.x New features: • New add-on features for bottom and right positions. • Tooltips now customizable. • In-page element opacity feature. • Right-click on the selected edge, shows selected options. • Context menu options added. • Auto maxizing new windows feature added. • Toolbar icon popup page added. • Spanish and Portuguese language support added. Updates: • Settings page redesigned. • In-page element positions restructured. • New toolbar icon images available. v2.0.x New features: • New in-page closer positions added. • You can change thickness of the in-page element. • Toolbar icon is added. Clicking to the toolbar icon will close the active tab. • You can change the toolbar icon image. • Multi language support is added, so please help to translate. • Preferences synced with Chrome (if signed in).
