A very simple addon that does one thing, Close tabs. Perfect addition to use with Vertical tabs

Very useful to prevent accidental closing of inactive tabs, especially when a lot of pinned tabs are open with just their icons showing and it can be a little difficult to see which one is the active tab.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Close Tab requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
