Features & Capabilities

Tab Scrub allows you to automatically get rid of those pesky lingering tabs that some webapps open during the day to day interaction with them. Simply add the titles of the tabs that usually open, make them as specific as possible so that Tab Scrub doesn't attempt to close other related tabs that you may still like to keep around. Set the timeout so that Tab Scrub knows how much time to wait for the tabs to do their thing before shutting them down, and thats it - you're all set!

User Reviews

Simple, does what it says closes my tabs and doesn't require any special access or permissions which is nice knowing its pretty secure. A few times I thought I had issues with tabs not closing but it turns out I was just not typing the tab title properly. I suggest temporarily making a bookmark of the tab you'd like closed and then copying the title exactly as it is written there and using that, works consistently that way.
