I'm on Google Pixel 2, Android 11, Chrome 87.0.4280.101. I have 494 open tabs, as I explain in my answer here on how to count them . I need to selectively close about 450 of them, or just close all of them then re-open about 20 to 50 of them. How do I mass-close many or all of them at once? The last time I mass-closed hundreds of tabs manually I sat there for like 30 minutes swiping until they were all closed. I don't want to do that again. That was ridiculous. (Compared to full computers, phones are garbage. :)) This tablet-specific answer doesn't seem to apply to phones, or to apply anymore to the latest versions, so it does _not_ contain an answer that works for me: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/62319/how-do-i-close-all-tabs-in-chrome-for-android . Here's what I see in my Chrome menu when I click on the 3 dots in the top-right corner: enter image description here This is in French.
