About close_tab(s)

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.
