Can someone recommend an extension that closes tabs en masse - ie. all Reddit or YouTube tabs in one go?
I seem to just open tabs and never close them, and then go through a cycle of anxiety wondering why I kept them open.
If there isn't, I think you can group tabs, and Id bet you can right click close-all on a tab group
These statements are based purely on assumption though
I haven't tried it, but a quick search found me this
Though, you can always close all tab through the normal tab menu, and open new windows for different types of browsing
Pull out the tabs you want and close the rest?!
There is in the app version an option to autoclose tabs are a period chosen by the user. Not sure about desktop at this point. Also maybe be better to try to train yourself to form the habit of closing tabs in general.
I use Tab Cleaner. Click the icon, and type in a regex string to close all the tabs whose url matches. For your example, typing redd would close all Reddit tabs, and typing yout would close all YouTube tabs. Of course, you can be more specific to avoid closing unrelated websites.
Try Mouse Gestures - from Opera some 15 years ago, I always close a tab with the mouse (drawing an 'L' shape) so that I never forget to close. To close en masse, you can simply right click and 'close all to the right/left' or 'all other tabs'.
If they're mixed up, then scroll through and mark what you want, then delete what you didn't mark.
