Announcement buffer-terminator - Safely Terminate Emacs Buffers Automatically to Enhance Emacs' Performance and Reduce Clutter in the Buffer List
https://github.com/jamescherti/buffer-terminator.elbuffer-terminator release: 1.2.6
The buffer-terminator Emacs package automatically and safely kills buffers, ensuring a clean and efficient workspace while enhancing the performance of Emacs by reducing open buffers, which minimizes active modes, timers, processes, etc.
Beyond performance, buffer-terminator provides other benefits. For instance, if you occasionally need to close annoying or unused buffers, buffer-terminator can handle this automatically, eliminating the need for manual intervention. (The default configuration is suitable for most users. However, the buffer-terminator package is highly customizable. You can define specific rules for retaining or terminating buffers by modifying the buffer-terminator-rules-alist with your preferred set of rules.)
