it seems that the only way to do it is to start tapping on the tab furthest to the left. when you tap on other tabs, especially the one furthest to the right, new tabs are added more often than tabs are closed
Closing all tabs in Chrome

I just got the 2013 Nexus 7. When Chrome launches it opens 50 or more blank tabs. How can I keep this from happening, and close multiple tabs quickly?
Tried all of the above suggestions ... Thx.

Welcome to Android Central! Did this happen from the start, or did you have an issue with accidentally opening a bunch of blank tabs while trying to close the previous tab? If you opened all of those tabs, Chrome remembers that, and so each time you open Chrome, it will open all of those tabs again.
Go to Settings/Apps/All, select Chrome, then Clear Cache, then Force Stop. Now open Chrome again. If the problem recurs, I wonder if there's some sort of malware on the device, in which case you should install a good antivirus app like Lookout and run a scan.

This did not work. This is a brand new tablet. I ran AVG anti virus, which found nothing. After I cleared the Chrome cache , and touched forced stop. I went back to Chrome and ther are over 100 tabs open. Would installing the toolbar help?

To close all tabs place finger on the X. on the last open tab on the top right side.Hold finger on X for 3 seconds there will be a pop up asking (Close all tabs) On some phones on top right hand of browser tab there will be a small icon with numbers inside indicating the number of tabs open. just place finger on icon and hold for 3 seconds.

This is an old thread but, since it comes up on top in Google Search, on Chrome for Android, just press and hold the "x" on any open tab and "Close All Tabs" will pop up under it. Hope it helps...
If you don't see the boxed number as explained, go into your browser settings (from the tab menu) and turn off merge tabs. Then the box with open tabs will show up
Don't know if it was available when question was posted. But someone called me today and it appeared that there was no context menu on the tabs in Android Chrome, but that is not entirely true.
In Chrome on Android to close all tabs, long press on the "x" on any tab, to get the "close all tabs".
I've seen a posting to close tabs by long pressing on the tabs count at the right, but I don't have that. In Windows desktop use Ctrl+Shift+W, or the tab context menu.

Looks like I selected a different version of question when I got past all the sign-in stuff and that this one did get answered. In other forums a correct answer would be marked by the original poster and appear immediately with the question. The second page did not come up originally on my Android and was delayed in Windows as well.
