Extension summary

Say goodbye to tab clutter. TabCloser automatically closes leftover tabs from services like Figma, Spotify, and Zoom once they're redirected to their dedicated desktop applications. You can also specify custom URLs for TabCloser to handle on your behalf, perfect for cleaning up after SSO logins, VPNs, and more. Not using the desktop version of an app? No problem—simply turn off TabCloser for that service and continue using it in your browser.

With TabCloser, keeping your tabs tidy and your focus sharp has never been easier. Whether you're opening a Figma file from Slack, launching a Zoom meeting from your calendar, or playing a Spotify playlist recommended by a friend, TabCloser ensures your browser remains organized. It's ideal for joining VS Code Live Share sessions, browsing Discord communities, or managing tasks in Asana or Linear. When you return to your browser, your tabs will be clean and clutter-free, allowing you to focus on what matters most.

Great concept, but the tabs are still remaining open for me. Could it be a conflicting Chrome extension? I've quit and restarted Chrome, and the lingering Zoom/Figma tabs still won't auto-close.

Wow, this extension actually works, unlike a few other similar ones I tried. Looks like this is the only working solution to close those annoying Join Zoom Meeting browser tabs, so my kudos to the author! One small suggestion though: is it possible to (optionally) disable the '+5 Second New Tab Buffer' setting (or make it customizable), as now it effectively sets the minimum delay to 6 seconds, whereas I'd like to close zoom tabs in 1..2 seconds.
