Extension summary

This extension gives a big red button that removes all of your extra tabs with a single click. If you have been working on your computer for 10 minutes or longer you might already have three linkedIn job applications, four YouTube tutorials, several StackOverflow pages, and two seperate tabs of React documentation. This big, nostalgic, satisfying button Thanos snaps all of these tabs with one quick javaScript function, leaving one instance of each website open including your currently active tab.

Note: This goes by hostname of the URL object in JS. So if you have for example mail.google.com and google.com, it will see these as two different websites. But if you have google.com/search/example1 and google.com/search/example 2, it will leave only one open.

User reviews

Most garbage extension I ever used. Literally does nothing that it says. It just closes all tabs. Wow, thanks. I now had to manually reopen around 50 tabs, including many youtube tabs for which I had to manually open, then pause, then open the next tab, pause again and repeat. What a waste of time. 1 star is way too much for this.
