What is your solution to automate the task of closing tabs?

    I hate chrome for this! Can’t see the motherfucking titles! Anyway, probably as suggested above, a killall should do on Linux (and probably macOs), or just closing the window

    Try container tabs and pin websites to correct containers. After job is done simply close all tabs in SO/Google/etc container and it's done. It really helps me working with multiple tabs.

    @wupewu sounds like qubeOS, else what "containers" are you talking about? running chrome in docker?

    There is a plugin called Container Tabs for Firefox and I saw there is similar one for Chrome too

    @JoshBent I think @wupewu meant tab stacking. It's included by default in Vivaldi. The other browsers gonna need add-on/plugin.

    You can have normal tabs and then you can drag and drop a tab on another tab and that tab will have two or more mini clickable icons on the tab name.

    @cursee think he means this:

    Seems like what chrome has inbuilt, just calls it "users" instead.

    @davenall same here. Apparently some people are either unable to find the Ctrl+W or get too attached to the tabs they open 😂

    Have one window for the tabs of each topic. Use "bookmark all tabs" to bookmark each tab of a topic into a neat folder.

    If you want to close multiple tabs.
    Shift, Click on the first tab.
    Click on the last tab. Ctrl W.

    @JoshBent Chrome users doesn’t appear to be the same, containers allow to separate browser data, between sites, essentially sandboxing them, and you can choose to always open a site in a particular container
