v3.2.2

TabCloser 3

I'll be working to get this distributed to the Chrome Web Store and Edge Add-on Store!

TabCloser has been rewritten to be compliant with the Manifest v3 changes that are coming to Chrome, the UI has been redesigned to be a little more friendly, and TabCloser now supports custom URLs.

v3.2.2 Changelog

• Fixed issue with Zoom Workplace links not properly closing

New UI

I've redesigned the UI to be a little more streamlined and easier to use.

Custom URLs

Y'all kept asking for it, and it's finally here! You're no longer limited to the default services TabCloser has. Now you can add your very own URLs for TabCloser to close!

Safari® Support

When rewriting TabCloser, I kept Safari top of mind this time around. I've successful converted TabCloser to work with Safari and WebKit and have a build running in Xcode. I'll be bundling an app distribution with this so you can install it on your macOS device. In the meantime I'm going to work to get it submitted to the Apple App Store.

2.) Once you install TabCloser you'll need to launch Safari and go to Safari > Settings > Advanced and check Show features for web developers. Once you've done that, go to the Developer tab and enable Allow unsigned extensions.

v2.7.6

With this release, the Slack regex has been updated to the following:

^https?://(?!(app\\.slack\\.com|slack\\.com|api\\.slack\\.com|.*\\/(customize|account|apps)(\\/|$)|.*\\/home(\\/|$)))[a-z0-9-]+\\.slack\\.com/.*$

This is to resolve Issue #6 with closing the Slack API documentation. 2.7.6 will be released to the the appropriate web stores, and may be pending approval for a few days with this fix.

Full Changelog: v2.7.5...v2.7.6

v2.7.5

This fix is to help address some user feedback received about the closing of Slack related pages. Here's how the new regex for Slack works: (?!(app\\.slack\\.com|slack\\.com|.*\\/(customize|account|apps)(\\/|$)|.*\\/home(\\/|$))) is a negative lookahead assertion, to match only if the string following does not match the patterns inside the group. app\\.slack\\.com excludes URLs starting with "app.slack.com" to make sure the web client can successfully stay open. slack\\.com excludes the base Slack website. .*\\/(customize|account|apps)(\\/|$) and .*\\/home(\\/|$) exclude URLs containing '/customize/', '/account/', '/apps/' or '/home' either followed by a slash or the end of the string—this is to avoid TabCloser from closing in-browser settings and config pages for Slack.

v2.7.0

What's Changed

• Add support for Microsoft Teams by @Maximisch in #3
• Add AWS IAM authorization success page by @shayelkin in #4

Full Changelog: v2.6.2...v2.7.0

v2.6.2

Updates the description of the extension to be more... succinct. Google rejected the 2.6.0 upload to the Chrome Web Store for "keyword farming"... because apparently listing the actual services the extension supports is a bad thing.

v2.6.0

Added Slack!

Full Changelog: v2.5.0...v2.6.0

v2.5.1

Now bundles licensing information.
