Allows you to close other tabs with a toolbar button, an item on the right-click menu or by pressing Alt+Shift+W.
What is Close Other Tabs?
'Close Other Tabs' is a minimalist Chrome extension designed to replace the removed right-click menu option on tabs. It offers three solutions: a readily accessible toolbar button, a 'Close Other Tabs' entry on the standard context menu, and a keyboard shortcut 'Alt+Shift+W'. This extension strictly respects user privacy without tracking browsing activity or collecting personal data. Source code is openly available on GitHub for review or customization.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

To replace the item removed from the right-click menu on tabs this extension does three things:

  1. It adds a button to the toolbar you can click on to close other tabs.
  2. It adds a Close Other Tabs item to the standard right-click context menu.
  3. It adds the Alt+Shift+W keyboard shortcut to close other tabs.

It doesn't track your browsing, send your personal data to any remote servers or rewrite any of the links on the pages you visit. It adds the toolbar button, the context menu item, the keyboard shortcut and nothing else. The source is available on GitHub if you want to check this for yourself.

(The extension adds a toolbar button and puts an item to the right click context menu you get when clicking on the page rather restoring the menu item that was removed because Extensions cannot add items to the tab menu.)
