Any chrome extension to delete inactive tabs?

Do you know any chrome extension to automatically close all inactive tabs after some time.

Also i should be able to change inactivity time for each website. Like if i have set 10 minutes of inactivity time, then extension should automatically close all stackoverflow tabs that i haven't visited in last 10 minutes.

I can set less time for github repo's i've opened.

I mean, i should have the flexibility to change websites and their inactivity time.

I don't think there's any chrome extension there which can do that, that's why I'm working to make one.

If there's any plz let me know now :)

Thanks developers

I have been using this which is free Tab suspend. Recently this feature got built into the Chromium Edge.

and I think extensions do not have permissions to close tabs.

I don't know about other browsers but chrome extensions have permission to close tabs. I just made it, you can try it chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/...
The frontend will be updated in a day. It solves my problems, hope it solves yours too.

No you cannot. What you can do is suspend after a time and based on a condition

I like tabwrangler. It does most of what you're talking about. You can set an inactivity threshold that automatically closes tabs (but keeps the url on a list in the extension just in case you need the tab back). The one thing it doesn't have is a per domain threshold like you're looking for I don't think.
