Notes:

To enable this extension in "incognito" window mode or for "file:///" URLs, you will need to provide permissions for this by going to "chrome://extensions".
Close Tab by Double Right Click implements an alternative approach for closing "chrome:///", "about:blank" and other special tabs. This is due to technical limitations of Chrome API. In these tabs, you would find a "Close Tab" context-menu entry which is shown when you right click anywhere on the page.
To configure the extension further, please visit "chrome://extensions/" > "Details" (for this extension) > "Extension options"

实际是有效的，只不过不是右键双击标签页，而是在页面内右键双击，和Firefox不一样

Didn't work for me. It does nothing.

Very useful when having multiple tabs, just double tap right click on the mouse and the tab is closed
