Automatic Tab Closer for Chromium | Generated by AI
This project can help with Chromium here. It’s a Chrome extension under safari-tab-killer/ — Chromium supports Chrome extensions natively. The Safari Xcode stuff is just a macOS wrapper around the same extension logic.
What it does: Automatically closes the oldest tabs when your tab count exceeds a configured maxTabs limit. Whitelist URLs are protected. Configurable via the popup UI.
How to load it into Chromium (on this machine):
chromium-browser
Then in Chromium:
- Navigate to
chrome://extensions - Enable Developer mode (toggle top-right)
- Click Load unpacked
- Select
/home/lzw/projects/tab-killer/safari-tab-killer/
That’s it. The extension will start running. Default max tabs is probably undefined (needs to be set in the popup). Click the extension icon to configure:
- Max tabs — how many tabs before the killer kicks in
- Whitelist — URL patterns to never auto-close (e.g.,
github.com,mail.google.com)
Want me to also check what Chromium extensions are currently installed, or open it and load the extension directly?
