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. 📣 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.

Im a profgrammer, but cant figure out how it works. entering 192.168.178.102 or 192.168.178.102* click on that page of the website where it is open click on close tab and its gone. reopen it, close chrome, and everything is gone. So: Plugin doesnt keep the tab open and doesnt prevent accidental closing. Not working on latest chrome it seams.

Just tested on a local address (192.168.*) and it worked perfectly both in macOS and Windows. Maybe you have another extension which conflicts with Lock Tab? You can test in Incognito. Since you're a profgrammer you're welcome to file an issue and I'll look into it: https://github.com/gabrielmaldi/chrome-lock-tab/issues

I’m so glad I found this extension. It’s such a small yet incredibly effective solution. I often accidentally close important tabs, especially ones with active sessions that can’t be recovered, and I was even considering building my own extension to solve this issue. Luckily, I found yours instead. Thank you so much for developing this tool. Wishing you all the best, and I hope this extension gets the higher rating it deserves, you’re worth more than 4 stars.
