sorry, should be added at features wanted because i just checked in chromium 78 and is missing there too, seems they remove it.
L.E: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/google-chrome-is-losing-the-close-other-tabs-option/
2.20 % ????? people really dont know to use a browser??????? or all IE users moved to chrome and they just open a tab and thats all they do.

Is it possible to restore it back? I know, that Ungoogled is mainly about privacy, but I would really love to have this feature, but I'm afraid that it's not possible, but it is very useful. Plus, these kinds of features should never be removed, even if they are used by a very few people.

Yes, it could be possible, but someone would have to maintain it and be sure it doesnt break after every update.
Maybe instead of restoring the functionality, recreate it but it should have the capability to be toggled during compile time and while using the browser(flags), that way, if that new functionality broke after an update it can be disabled easily until whoever maintains it fixes the problem.
But that would increase the releases , say, there is a new release with security fixes, but the guy in charge of maintaining said functionality is busy and cant update immediately after the release, so, now the packager has to build without the new stuff and after a while he has to build it again with the new fixes made by the maintainer. A real pain in the ass if you ask me. Something better would be to have like an extension system but on a lower level so that we can change chromium internals and stuff. There is no such thing in vanilla chromium afaik.

That's a pity to hear, since the current Windows release was quite a long time ago and that would slow it even more. However, if it would be possible to have it, as an extension, it would be a nice addition!
I understand, and thank you very much for the info!

I think we can make an exception for this case. Since we are just adding a single drop-down menu item, it won't change the UI significantly or cause any other features to change. This is assuming that the dropdown is like this feature: #761

Did anybody do a search for a commit, that removed it? If that is a simple commit, then it could be trivial to revert it, right?

Am I correct to understand, that they have reverted this change upstream?

it seems they are going to re add it, but probably not next release, (we are only 35 days before stable)

This can be closed. Fixed in 78.0.3904.108 (#865).
