Preferisco l'estensione "Close This Tab", permette di scegliere se chiudere tutte le altre schede, quelle a sinistra o quelle a destra e puoi personalizzare l'icona. __________________________________ I prefer the "Close This Tab" extension, it allows you to choose whether to close all the other tabs, those on the left or those on the right and you can customize the icon.

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 Tab in Context Menu does not require any sensitive permissions.
