About

Automatically Close YouTube Tabs When Videos Finish

Do you open multiple YouTube videos in different tabs from the homepage?
This lightweight extension helps you keep your browser clean by automatically closing any YouTube tab once its video finishes playing.

There are no settings, no tracking, and no data collection — just a simple utility that works quietly in the background.

How it works

You open a YouTube video in a tab

The extension monitors the <video> element only on YouTube

When the video reaches the end, the tab closes automatically

Helps reduce tab clutter and improves focus

Privacy

This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.
It only listens for the video ending event on YouTube and closes that specific tab.

Required Permissions

None

Host permissions:
https://www.youtube.com/\
* → Needed to run the script that detects when a YouTube video finishes

Nothing else. No extra permissions.

A simple, single-purpose extension.
