As i wrote "For users, that are not datahoarder, probably is difficult to understand what i'm saying, or why we need to do that". is not goal of this post to explain my usage or what i want to archive.

PS: i know about close or groups. i still think ghostbrowser offers better solutions if you want to use workspaces.
define "datahoarder" and "ghostbrowser".
there is no a real definition of datahoarder, since there are different type of datahoarders, but we can summary as:
- people that give the priority to keep multiple copies of each file to be sure they don't lose it (no matter if our house start to burn, etc.), in different location and on different cloud too
- people that make digital all things (dvd, magazine, ...)
- people that save everything they visit (because they know internet remove data with the time, no matter if this is related to copyright reason or other)
- people that generally have a lot of digital files (like people that have 1000+ dvds, etc.) and maybe own 100+ external drives
- people that have a good organization of files, they create script etc to download automatically a lot of website, the whole pubmed library, youtube, channels, boards, etc.
- people that store file offline because of problem related to internet (for example streaming with a lot of pause)
- people that follow thousand or 20k+ other people/celebrities/star/athletes on socials and download all type of files
- people that keep every single version of every file / setting
- people that prefer spend money for external drive compared to other things in the life
- people that want access every type of file everywhere (via nas)
- people that want backup other big public libraries
- people that want to preserve data for future generations
- etc.
Is not easy to give a real definition, because a lot does all that only with business goal, other with private goal, other with both; other just download "useless things" like 2PB of porn or everything from eurosport etc.. (and maybe they never watch it too).
so there are hoarder that download, keep and consult data (like me, if possible important data, like science or business/videomaking/books etc, obviously even my favourite tvshows, etc. or my collection of 1000 dvds) and other that just download all what they can (2PB of porn, x'000 of movies, x'000 of tvshows, etc.)
there are even different way to hoard: all automatically via terminal etc, manually via browser or using both methods, this include opening a lot of tabs too.
about point 1-11 a datahoarder can have just 1-2 points or a mix, or all.

Thanks, I checked them out, not really related to double-click tab closing functionality but still interesting to know about them.
about extension activation deactivation:
is better, because now the chrome extensions close directly tab with double click. this is not the same if they implement 2x + x button near mouse (but such things can be done from extension developers too). in some parts i agree with you.
about hoarding: is related, because i use 2x to batch follow people or to decide which video are good, etc., this is how i can follow 20k without problems.
example: instagram gives you suggestion of xxx mens physique and female fitness athletes. i batch open all these accounts and then i batch follow or close it, without using other methods, otherwise i lose the position of my mouse. same for pinterest, tiktok, etc. If you are asking you, why i don't use directly close left/ right, then is because i backup all favourites tabs to different services before closing them. by clicking close left right i still lose my mouse position, so i avoid it too.
yes we could use shortcut (except close to the left), but i hate shortcut via keyboard in some situations.
i close tabs once i finish my workflow. the same i do for research and other topics too. i do the same to batch click the same download button on different tabs, without loosing mouse position.
i still know that during normal usage of edge such batch 2x is not needed, this is why i disable the extension when i don't hoard data.
about fear: yes and no. you still need to activate it before and depends from how they implement it. But again, for me there are features much more important, especially if edge implement a simply 2x close on the tab. such feature for me doesn't bring a lot of difference. generally i never click on tab to close tabs.
obviously now i'm talking of my usage, then edge need to hear to other people too.
Well I've explained here how you can use the built-in tools available right now to manage lots of tabs in Edge
