Reviews of clear tabs:
Love it, simple, easy to use.
If only it would add an entry to the tab's context menu (right click) then it would be a 10/10 extension... At least it's it's a workaround since google removed "close all other tabs" option recently... Which I can't understand since it was easily one the most used features by me....
This is an essential extension to have now that Google has removed this functionality from Chrome.
