Automatically closes tabs whose URL is blacklisted.

What is Tabs Blacklist (Policies)?

'Tabs Blacklist (Policies)' is a Chrome extension that tightens your web browsing control. It works by automatically closing tabs whose URL is blacklisted. This extension finds its configuration from Chrome's policies and employs three URL matching modes; exact, contains, and regular expression for precise blacklisting. It's also programmed to try and refocus on the previous active tab after closing a blacklisted one. A debug page is included and can be activated via Chrome's policies.
