Overview

Panic Button hides and closes all tabs in one click — a panic button chrome extension to save, mute and restore any session.

🚨 Panic Button — hide every tab in one click Panic Button is a panic button chrome extension that closes chosen tabs instantly and brings them back later. One press of the red panic button clears your screen, mutes sound and saves the whole session into a local archive — an emergency exit and a session saver in one. ⚡ How does a panic button work here? 1️⃣ Install this panic button extension and pin its icon to the toolbar. 2️⃣ Pick a ready profile or set your own rules in a minute. 3️⃣ Press it — the selected tabs close at once. 4️⃣ Restore everything later into the same window or a new one. 🛡️ What it can do ➤ Close all tabs in the current window or across every window. ➤ Save a snapshot before closing, so no page is ever lost. ➤ Restore a full session or only the pages you pick. ➤ Mute audio first — a truly silent panic button for work calls. ➤ Open a neutral safe page automatically after the cleanup. 📌 Flexible rules and profiles - close everything except sites from your keep list; - close only the sites you listed — by domain, exact URL or regex; - keep pinned tabs safe and choose your own safe page; - up to 50 profiles for home, work or a shared computer. ⌨️ Hotkeys and mouse gestures • Run the active profile with a keyboard shortcut. • Double-click or use a rocker mouse gesture right on the page. • Switch profiles from the toolbar menu or the context menu. • No icon hunting: assign up to 10 profile hotkeys. 🏢 A personal panic button for office and home This panic button for office workers, students and anyone on a shared machine hides chats, social feeds or shopping pages the second someone walks in. It is faster than locking the screen, and on a work laptop it is just as handy on business trips and in open spaces. At home the same tool helps you drop distractions and get back to what matters. 🆚 Like opera gx panic button — but smarter Opera GX users know the built-in panic button key that swaps tabs for a clean window. This extension gives Chrome the same reflex plus profiles, rules, muting and real restore. If you used a firefox panic button add-on or looked for an opera alternative, this tool covers Chrome fully. 🔒 Private by design This smart panic button app stores sessions locally, needs no account and sends nothing to any server. Optional Chrome sync can share a saved session between your own computers only when you ask. No analytics, no tracking — it simply minds its own business. 🧩 Extra touches ▸ The archive survives a browser restart — sessions stay safe. ▸ Export and import settings or sessions as JSON files. ▸ A preview shows exactly which tabs will close before you commit. ▸ Per-window or all-windows scope — you choose the blast radius. 🧭 Easy to start A first-run wizard helps you pick a profile and try everything on a couple of tabs before the real thing. The toolbar menu shows a live preview of what will close, your recent sessions and quick actions — everything stays one click away. 🎯 Made for real life moments ◆ Someone walks in while you browse — one click and the screen is clean. ◆ Too many tabs before a meeting — close now, restore after. ◆ Shared family computer — keep your pages to yourself. ◆ Focus mode — clear distractions, then bring them back. ❓ FAQ 📌 What is a panic button? 💡 It is a one-action tool that instantly hides or closes whatever is on your screen. In a browser, an extension like this does that for tabs. 📌 How to use panic button? 💡 Click the toolbar icon or press your shortcut — it closes tabs by your rules, then restores them from the archive. 📌 Does the application delete browsing history? 💡 Only if you enable the separate cleanup mode and grant the history permission. By default it just closes and saves tabs. 📌 Will my tabs be lost after an emergency press? 💡 No. A snapshot is saved before anything closes, and sessions can be restored whole or page by page. 📌 Does it need an internet connection? 💡 No. Everything runs locally inside Chrome; sync is optional and off by default. 🚀 Hit the panic button when it counts Add this emergency panic button to Chrome, run one test session and keep your screen one click away from clean. Unlike physical panic buttons, there is no alarm, no noise and no fuss — install it and stay calm. Whether you share a computer, work in an open space or just want a cleaner screen, setup takes a minute and cleanup takes a second.
