About Double Click Close Tab
Close the current tab by double-clicking empty space on a web page.
Double Click Close Tab is a lightweight, open-source Chrome extension for users who want a faster way to close tabs without aiming for the tab close button.
Features:
• Double-click empty page space to close the current tab
• Simple on/off toggle from the toolbar popup
• Protection against accidental closes:
- ignores links, buttons, inputs, editable fields, audio/video elements, and other interactive targets
- does not trigger while text is being selected
• Minimal and privacy-friendly:
- no analytics
- no tracking
- no external requests
How it works:
The extension listens for double-clicks on ordinary webpage content. When the click happens on a non-interactive empty area, it requests Chrome to close the current tab.

This extension is open source. Source code and project page:

Limitations:
