User reviews
Pros
- Effectively manages and automatically closes tabs based on user-defined rules.
- Helps remove unwanted or annoying pop-up tabs from websites, improving browser experience.
- Allows users to replace other similar extensions, handling multiple URL rules.
- Generally works as described with a simple setup.
- Helpful for closing Zoom meeting launch tabs and other specific sites automatically.
Cons
- Timeout setting requires milliseconds input, which is not clearly documented, causing confusion.
- Extension sometimes fails to work immediately on page load and only works after a refresh.
- Occasionally closes wrong tabs or does not close tabs at all.
- Users request features like a "Run Now" button and enable/disable switches for individual features to improve flexibility.
- Issues with complex regex rules not matching expected URLs properly.
Recent reviews
For the moment, the extension works as a charm. However, it would be super useful to add a "Run Now" button or alike.

Very useful extension! I really like how it manages my tabs automatically.
One suggestion: I hope each feature can have an enable/disable switch, so users can choose which functions to use. This would make it even more flexible and customizable. Thank you!

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.
Tabs auto close requires very minimum permissions.
