Double click to close a tab in Chrome

Did you know you could close tabs in Chrome with the middle mouse button? It seems however some people don't like using the middle mouse button on a regular basis, not to mention it's not very precise.

Thankfully, there's an app for that! Chrome Toolbox will allow you to double click any tab to close it.


Download it here and press the "+ add to chrome" button.

After it is installed, you can go into Chrome Toolbox's options and tick "Double click on a tab to close it". Settings are saved automatically.

Chrome Toolbox also comes with a ton of other nifty features:

- Magnify any image on a web page, set it as your wallpaper, and view it in its original size
- Drag any video on a web page (Flash and HTML5 video) out of the page in its own stand--alone window, closing the window puts it back to the original page, both with play state reservation
- Customize tab behavior to close the tab on double click, to create a new tab on closing the last tab, and to always open a link in its own tab
- Save and restore unsubmitted form data, to avoid data loss caused by session expiration or a no-cache page setting
- One shortcut to launch all predefined URLs (from your Bookmark Manager folder)
- Learn, compare and contrast shortcuts in Chrome and other popular browsers.
- Put your favorite Chrome functionalities in the drop down menu, reorder them in the way you like
- Define Boss Key
- Mute all tabs
