Checker Plus for GMail extension for Chromium browser allows me to close multiple GMail tabs which I kept open

Displays new emails and the sender’s contact photo, get notifications or even listen, read or delete them without opening Gmail! Supports multiple accounts plus many options.

I manage some organisational GMail accounts on behalf of others and this meant having 5 GMail tabs open during the day. Each open tab chews extra CPU and RAM, and considering, between the two browsers I use, I have just over 60 tabs open all the time (in 7 groups), I’ve been looking at ways to retain the functionality but with fewer browser tabs open.

This extension is a great way to keep “tabs” on any e-mail coming in for those accounts, without the tabs being open, and still being able to read the mail and perform a number of quick responses. There are a lot of tweaks you can set, and the dev seems to be pretty active in updating it. It has over 1.1 million users using it, with a 4.7 out of 5-star rating from 12,400 reviews.

The extension is free to use, but a donation is required to get access to some advanced features and to themes. I opted for the once-off donation to set the themes.
