Edge Canary gets option to close tabs with double-click

The latest Microsoft Edge Canary update quietly introduces one of the most popular accessibility features: double-click to close a tab. This is one of the long-term features that users have requested for over 113 weeks. After a long wait, the feature is finally available, albeit only in the Canary channel for now.

The option to close a tab by double-clicking is available in the accessibility settings. It's disabled by default, so you'll need to navigate to Edge Settings > Accessibility and turn on the "Use a double-click to close browser tabs" option. After that, double-click a tab with the left mouse button to close it.

It’s also worth mentioning that Edge users can close web pages using the middle button (wheel click) or the Ctrl W shortcut, but some users find double-clicking to be more convenient choose. Whatever you prefer, Edge Canary now lets you choose between the two.

Like other changes in the Canary channel, double-clicking to close a tab only applies to a limited number of Insiders. Microsoft is testing the waters before expanding the feature to more users across other channels, so it may take a few days or weeks for your browser to receive the double-click to close tab functionality.
