What is Double Middle-Click Close Tab?
"Double Middle-Click Close Tab" is an Edge browser add-on that facilitates tab management by providing users the ability to close the current tab with a double-middle click of the mouse. After installing, users must refresh a site or restart the browser for it to work. However, it cannot close Edge-specific URLs or the Edge Web Store, due to security restrictions. Its functionality in Windows might be limited due to default AutoScroll function.
