## Description

Tab Close Gold automatically closes tabs you don’t want to see. Add unwanted URLs or page titles to a blacklist, match with plain text or regular expressions, and let the extension close matching tabs for you — optionally after a configurable delay of up to 30 seconds.

Import and export your configuration, and keep settings synced across browsers. Tab Close Gold is ideal for blocking leftover launcher tabs, persistent popups, or any recurring unwanted pages. Visit the project wiki for setup details and examples to get started quickly.
