Discussion: Add ability to close tabs via double-click
Please add the "double-click on tab to close" feature, and it's fine to make it optional.
First of all, the middle button is just not good to use, you have to move your finger to press it, making the process a little bit slow. Staying at left (or right) button is faster.
Second, I use a Logitech mouse, which middle button is the scrolling wheel, however clicking wheel on my mouse has another function(shifting scrolling mode). They conflict with each other, so I have to config or something, it's just annoying.
Third, double-click is better than click the X in a tab, because it's easier and faster, it requires no accuratly aiming. The tab's area is larger than the X button's. Less aiming, less moving, more quick to close, more convienent.
Fourth, it is not possible unless you guys do it. There'is no way for a extension to do it, they don't have the access to the tabs as far as I know. There is no workround!!!
At last, you guys probably don't know that MILLIONS of user in China are relying on this feature. Chinese local browsers, such as 360/QQBrowser and a lot more other Chrome variant browsers, all have this. It is one of the biggest reason why people there are not like using the orginal Chrome. And for Edge, you guys can make it right this time if you'd like to pass Chrome. BTW, just FYI, another crucial feature is built-in mouse gesture.
Come on, add it, and make it optional, how hard or dangerous can it be? It's fine to let users turn it on themselves. People would know what they're doing. Don't worry too much.
