Español: Sencilla y funcional, aunque no se si podrían en el futuro pudieran ampliar su funcionalidad a varias ventanas con un sub menú o algo, ya sea dejar solo la pestaña activa de cada ventana o cerrar las demás ventanas English: simple and functional, although I'd like to see in the future its functionality extended as to being able to apply it on multiple windows at once, either leaving only the active tab on each window or to close all other windows

Love it, simple, easy to use.

If only it would add an entry to the tab's context menu (right click) then it would be a 10/10 extension... At least it's it's a workaround since google removed "close all other tabs" option recently... Which I can't understand since it was easily one the most used features by me....
