Close Tabs to the Left

Tired of dealing with too many open tabs in Chrome? The 'Close Tabs to the Left' extension provides a simple solution to manage your tabs effectively. While Chrome allows closing all tabs to the right or all tabs except the current, what about the tabs that are cluttering your view on the left?

This handy extension enables you to close all tabs to the left with just a single click. Free up your workspace by removing unnecessary tabs that you opened earlier and reclaim your browsing experience with ease. Just click the extension's icon, and watch those old tabs disappear!

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.
