Overview

Prevents a tab from being closed accidentally

Adds a padlock icon that allows toggling each tab's lock/unlocked state. When a locked tab is being closed, a confirmation dialog which allows preventing the tab from closing, is displayed. šŸ“£ IMPORTANT: after locking, some interaction with the page is required for it to work. So you need to, for example, click anywhere on the page after locking to actually prevent the tab from being closed. This is how Chrome works.

Locks tabs, but also flags when loading new pages in locked tabs. Since a ton of sites work by clicling and it takes you to a new page, this ends up being overly annoying for those pages. CNN, nytimes, washington post, all do that behavior. Even when I try and close chrome out, it warns me that I'm going to a new page. removing extension as not really usable in it's current form

As a fellow Chrome Extension developer: This is Awesome! Thank you for taking my feedback on Github seriously and adding the new auto-lock pinned tabs feature!
