Works Perfectly!

You may wonder.. "does this close pinned tabs?" yes.. it does Problem is that Pinned tabs dock automatically to the left side, so you don't have flexibility in choosing to close pinned tabs or not.. renders this extension useless to me. Close tabs to the right would have been a lot smarter.
