Discussion: Add ability to close tabs via double-click
Hey Insiders, thanks for your continued feedback to help us improve Microsoft Edge! Recently we have noticed a growing trend in requests to support double clicking on a tab to close it. Even just rec...
1. I'm a power browser user, having dozens of Tabs open often, and the various browsers I've used, I've NEVER had a problem with moving between tabs, etc., and "accidentally" closing them. It's just a non-issue. Though, it DOES sometimes happen when I'm trying to use my "Left-Hand" to use my mouse, in which I don't have any fine control. People can change their mouse sensitivity and functions, and also 360Chrome (the browser I use) has some features related to mouse controls and opening Tabs that can address this issue.
2. Instead of stressing about accidentally closing Tabs, simply provide people the OPTIONS in Settings on "how" they want to close Tabs.
- Double-Click
- Right Click
- Click on X
etc.
If you want to know the BEST browser that has many features modern browsers should have, see "360Chrome"... It's a Chinese browser that gives you control.
I won't use a browser unless it...
1. Gives me a "Middle-Tab Bar" option (this is something you need to also add).
2. Drag-and-Drop to Open a New Tab Search or Open Links.
3. Double-Click to close tabs...
4. Restore last page button, and have a drop-down history, and also when it restores the last page, it also restores the "back" browsing history, so you can hit the back button on the restored page.
5. Control how Tabs Open and Close. I like them to function a certain way.
6. Oh, and also control how Favorites/Bookmarks open, in New tabs.
See 360Chrome for all the options that should be in settings.
These are the MOST important things I need in a modern browser. I got spoiled with them with the old "Maxthon Classic". The later Maxthon when it became a standalone lost the middle-tab bar, which is why I ended up going to 360Chrome, it was the only browser that had ALL of the other primary features.
Anyway, look in 360Chrome's SETTINGS page, and just duplicate MOST of what it does, and you will have a base browser that fits most needs and preferences, not having to install extensions for what I consider BASIC functionality, aka the above list of things.
Please add most of 360Chromes Settings Options to Edge, and I will actually switch...
Thanks...
