Closing the current tab requires to go to the tabbed view, then scroll down, reading all the titles one by one until you recognize what the current tab is and then press the X button.

Closing the current tab is possible by tapping the 3 lines (tools) on the toolbar. Look to the left of the toolbar, there is a white box with an X in it, that button closes that current tab/page;
Tap the tools icon
Tap the close icon
Thanks @Spark, I hoped that was your meaning and it was ;)

Highlighting the active tab in the list of tabs and making sure it is in view when going to the tabs view would be a nice first step.
@veskuh - if you are still a sailor, could you elaborate a little more on your comment please?

There is a shortcut to close current tab, but it is only visible when the page is loading. So when the page is loading on top of toolbar there is a gradient with text and two icons. On the right side of the gradient the (X) is not for stopping but instead for closing the current tab. In same way clicking on the text should open tab page with search text field focused so you can easily edit the URL.
At the moment this shortcut bar is only visible when browser is loading but intent is to show it briefly always when toolbar becomes visible.

Suggestion: Can we have a pulley menu with 'Close current tab' as one of the options? Other menu options might go in here too eg an in page search and option to show the keyboard (useful when the page has keyboard interaction but no input fields).

qwazix ( 2013-12-30 19:14:59 +0200 )editHow about changing one of the least used browser menu buttons to a close tab button ? I was thinking about switching [Add bookmark] to a [Close tab] button. Add bookmark function could be moved to pulley menu in tab view.
