'Ben agreed years ago that we could remove these. Google planned to remove options years agoĪccording to an issue on the Chromium project spotted yesterday by a Reddit user, Google engineers planned to remove to menu options for many years even before opening the Chromium issue, dated itself to July 31, 2015. The menu options have existed in Chrome since its birth and were inspired by options introduced in the Firefox browser a few years back. The options, named 'Close other tabs' and 'Close tabs to the right' reside in the menu that appears when a user right-clicks on a Chrome tab.
Chrome engineers are planning to remove two options from Chrome that allow users to quickly close a large number of tabs with just a few clicks.
