Discussion: Add ability to close tabs via double-click
MissyQ As a Windows developer, from the age of IE6 until now, I am very happy to see the transition from edge to chromium engine.
I don’t agree with what you said that there will be misoperations. I have not had this problem in other browsers that support double-clicking to close the tab. On the contrary, the "X" button may be touched during the continuous closing, which may cause the wrong operation. What you said The problem does not exist at all. As a developer, I know the difference between single-click and double-click. Since there will be mistakes here, they may appear in any position. For example, when you click on any window title bar by mistake, the window may be maximized. Of course, this is impossible.
Furthermore, from a product perspective, the goal of a software product stage is to optimize the product, and the ultimate goal is to have more people like and use it. There are not a few people who are accustomed to double-clicking to close the tab. If the edge can take this function as An option, and it is closed by default, more people will be willing to use it, this is not a bad thing.
In China, a desktop browser (360chrome) with hundreds of millions of users supports both double-clicking to close and "X" button to close by default. A large number of user practices show that there is no problem with double-clicking to close the tab. I think you are too cautious. This problem, moreover, this function can be used as an option for operating habit settings, and it is turned off by default.
