Handle several matching tabs with one Panic Button action.
EMERGENCY TAB CLOSE
Close matching tabs in an emergency.
When hiding is not enough, close every matching tab with one customizable emergency shortcut.
Set Up Emergency Tab Close Chrome · Edge · Firefox
Emergency tab close lets you close every open tab that matches your own keywords in one action, while unrelated tabs stay open.
THE PROBLEM
Sometimes the tabs need to be gone, not just hidden.
Closing tabs one by one takes time and can expose each page as you search for it. SBA can close all configured matches together when you trigger the Panic Button.
- Someone is approaching your computer
- A screen-sharing session starts unexpectedly
- Several matching tabs need to close at once
