What is Close This Tab?

'Close This Tab' is a Chrome extension that offers a quick, intuitive solution to close tabs. By introducing an in-tab element that appears when the mouse hovers over selected edges, users can close tabs without navigating to each tab's close button. This element is customizable, offering users control over on-hover color, thickness, click-event types and positioning. In addition to these features, 'Close This Tab' also offers a toolbar icon and context menu option for closing tabs. Due to Chrome limitations, certain pages are restricted from adding in-page elements. Nevertheless, the toolbar icon and context menu options are operational across all pages.

no longer works on some sites after I re-installed Chrome/ remove / re added this extension doesn't help

Albert Hui, 2024-06-08

I installed this extension in Vivaldi, which is based on Chrome (Chrome extensions work in Vivaldi). In Settings, Vivaldi is set to shift the tab focus to the tab to the left when a tab is deleted. With this extension installed, that's not happening. Also, after using the red bar at the left margin, the bare doesn't always appear on the next page that I want to delete. I've decided to delete the extension. What I REALLY want is an X to the right of all the tabs, so I can always go to that X to close whatever tab I want to delete.
