Clicking to the toolbar icon will close the active tab. • You can change toolbar icon image. • Multi language support is added, so please help to translate. • Preferences synced with Chrome (if signed in).

Features:

• You can close tab by clicking in-page closer or toolbar icon. • In-Page closer only appears when you move the mouse cursor to the selected edge of the active window. • You can change the features of in-page closer, like hover color, thickness, click event type and position. • Alternatively, toolbar icon can close tabs.

Limitations:

Since Chrome is not allowing, In-Page closers could not be embedded into the following pages: chrome:// - chrome-extension:// - chrome-devtools:// - view-source: - data: - chrome.google.com/webstore/ - New tab page.

But, toolbar icon will work on all pages without any limitation.

Note on permissions:

• "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit" - That is necessary to insert In-Page closers to pages. I do not read YOUR data from any website, nor do i modify it.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Close This Tab requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Close This Tab is very likely to contain malware and should not be trusted. Avoid installing.
