return function (info, tab) {
//do a job it will open a new page
// Create a new tabto the info page.
chrome.tabs.create({ url: url, });

Hi

,
Ordinary javascript cannot close windows willy-nilly. If you want to use js to close the windows,you must open it first. One way,you could use Chrome extension.Just like this:
chrome.windows.remove(integer windowId, function callback)
Another,if you use the old Chrome,you could do like this:
open(location, '_self').close();
