Google is reportedly working on a new feature for its Chrome browser – that will let users close any active tab with just a double click on the mouse.
This eliminates the need for keyboard shortcuts or precisive mouse navigation – performed to close the active tabs. This feature has been in Edge for months and now coming to Chrome. If you can wait for this support already, you may try suitable extensions to perform these actions.

In the pursuit of making the handling experience easy on Chrome, Google is working on new support to let users close tabs with a double click on the mouse. This was spotted by @Leopeva64 in the Chrome feature tracker, where the evidence for this feature is listed in Chromium Gerrit .
