Latest Google Chrome released for Windows

There was a lot of controversy when this option was removed in the stable version (Chrome 78), well, it seems that Google has decided to restore it, this is the commit:

Re-add "Close Other Tabs" to tabstrip context menu.

I guess this option will be restored first in Canary, although in the past Google has made small updates in the stable version to change some things and, due to the controversy generated by the removal of this option, they could do the same on this occasion and maybe they will restore this option in the stable version with a small update.

That would be great if they did bring it back. As soon as I read this I checked for an update to Chrome and there actually was one. Sad to say that the close all tabs was not in there.

The commit was made only two or three hours ago, so the change will not occur until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow in Canary, I'm not sure when it will reach the stable version.

How difficult can it be be to restore a feature just removed?

"Close other tabs" has already been restored in Canary (Version 80.0.3959.0):

Another news that has to do with the tab context menu, it seems that soon the extension developers will be able to re-add the items that Google removed from the tab context menu, this can be deduced from a new commit that appears in Chromium Gerrit:

Add the ability for extensions to add items to the tab context menu.

Following the removal of "Close other tabs" from the tab context menu, this is a way to allow extensions to add item to that menu using the chrome.contextMenus API.
