Extension summary

A simple extension that will close tabs by clicking left & right mouse buttons at the same time.

Note: Works well on Windows, but is a bit screwy on OSX. In OSX, it only works if left clicking, holding left, then right clicking. This will not work if you've right clicked first and the context menu is open in OSX. If you right click and the context menu opens, left click elsewhere to close it, then left click, hold, right click to close the tab.
