Bug: if you have two windows A and B open with multiple tabs in each, when you're on A and use this extension, sometimes it closes all tabs from B instead of A. Very annoying.

✅ Works, but not useful. What is really needed today is Close tabs to the left, since that is the option missing from ALL browsers for YEARS now, for whatever dumb reason they all decided to remove it...
