Three Finger Tap to Close Tab por Himanshu Mahendra Jain

Close the current tab with a three-finger tap, middle click, or toolbar click.

Three Finger Tap to Close Tab is a lightweight, open-source extension that provides a quick and simple way to close the current browser tab.

Three-finger tap or middle-click anywhere on a webpage outside links and editable fields to close the current tab. You can also click the extension icon in the toolbar to close the tab.

Middle-clicking links keeps the browser's normal behavior, so you can continue opening links in new tabs as usual.
