Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Middle-Clicking tabs closes them. Middle-Clicking tab groups does nothing.

Describe the solution you'd like Middle-Clicking tab group should do the same as clicking "Close Group" manually. 17:51:56

Describe alternatives you've considered None

Additional context I'd submit a patch for this myself, but I can't seem to understand the chromium source code well enough.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how middle click closing is implemented for individual tabs in Chromium (likely in tab strip model or tab strip ui). Then apply similar logic to tab group headers to close the entire group when middle clicked. Focus on the TabStripModel and TabGroupHeader classes.
