en This should be a default setting option for future Chrome builds! I tend to open links in new tabs, especially from searches, and wondered if the functionality existed to close those tabs when I use my mouse back button to prevent the need for keyboard usage or the need to narrow in on any one of my numerous opened tabs. Thank you kindly for this essential plugin!

This should be built-in web browsers!! Only regret is it won't work on tabs loading "forever" (spinning favicon) like direct hd .jpeg picture links and sometimes even reddit take +3s to load
