Double Click Closes Tab is a Chrome extension that enhances tab management by enabling you to close tabs faster using double or triple clicks directly on the webpage instead of the tabs. You can configure double left/right clicks or triple left clicks to close tabs, making it quicker than middle-clicking or keyboard shortcuts when your hands are occupied.

Additional features include an optional toolbar icon to close or duplicate the current tab, preventing accidental closing of the last Chrome tab, and customizable link-click behavior to open links in new background tabs. Accidentally closed tabs can be reopened via shift + double/triple click. The extension prioritizes usability and minimizes interference with typical webpage interactions like text selection or Google Dictionary. It offers options to tailor click actions to your preferences and displays icon status indicating extension activity.

High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Double Click Closes Tab requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
