Extension summary

Close Tab lets you close a web page in a snap with a right mouse click and a key press. This is often quicker than moving the mouse cursor up to the tab's close icon or taking your hand off the mouse to use a keyboard shortcut that requires both hands.

The shortcut key that closes the tab is customizable.
