About Close Search Tabs

It's about 50 lines of code. Just click the button (or press Ctrl+Shift+Z ) and your tabs close. Permissions Explanation: This extension will ask for your permission to read your browsing history. I don't want or care to know what you're looking at. The only way for this extension to selectively close search tabs it to look at the URL, and check for a prefix ("google.com/search?q", for example) and looking at your URLs falls under the Browsing History permissions category.
