finely polished, almost feels like a native feature lol. edited style to match my theme as well. request: middle click to close tab update: I implemented the middle click feature lol. just paste this to popup.js $('.open').on('mousedown', function(event) { if(event.button === 1) { event.stopPropagation(); closeTabs([parseInt(this.id)]); } }); bug: popup closes after closing tab with shortcut update: I investigated the problem and can say it happens when "jump to previous when close" option is enabled. I believe it's a focus/blur conflict. the bug persist for the other extensions as well. whenever I close a tab with api, all popups dissappear. hope it helps to fix this issue cuz I really liked the feature and the extension itself.

It probably use to be useful. In this new chrome update now you can do the same thing that this can do. The reason I didn't do that bad of a score is because it can also search bookmarks. It's not bad, but I wont recommend it to anyone.
