First, I use hash tag to change page hash without a reload.

Second, I tried to close a window by clicking a button using jquery:

 $("#finish").click(function() {
    window.close();
});

Chrome tells me "you may not close the window not open by the script". However I am always on the same page, just the hashtag changes.

Any workarounds or ideas?

You can only close a window you've opened with `window.open`. You can't just close a users window on them. – Bill Criswell Dec 09 '14 at 21:37
