It's always closing the focused tab. i.e. when the authentication is in progress in the browser, if I switch to another tab and start working there, this plugin will actually close that active tab which may lead to loss of important work. This is very (very) dangerous.

10/10 extension, amazing work

Great idea, but if often closes a wrong tab. I have multiple chrome windows open, and this extension is constantly closing the wrong tab (from another window) :(
