Prevents a tab from being closed accidentally

• (2024-01-08) Mark LaFlamme: Actually made me lose a tab I was trying to lock. Will lock some tabs, but not others. Uninstalling before it can mess me up any further.
• (2023-11-07) Fabio De Pasquale: Works great, but please add more Settings options. For example, I don't want the extension to prepend the locket icon in the tabs. It gets ugly and it replaces the title especially when you have a lot of tabs open.
• (2023-10-15) Hermann “Gwz40” Brewitzch: Doesn't work at all. The icon just sits there, nothing happens if I click it.
• (2023-10-09) Oqarshi: works like a charm!
• (2023-08-18) Joe Manning: Exactly what I needed. I kept on leaving google meet and looking like an idiot. It is also worth mentioning that this extension prevents me from clicking on a bookmark in the same tab and leaving the meeting that way.
• (2023-06-28) Richard Petithory: Works great for me. Not sure what others are complaining about. Thanks dev!
• (2023-05-17) Tom Shafer: Total waste of time. Author does not understand the KISS programming methodology. Keep-It-Simple-Stupid !
• (2023-04-23) Richard Nedwed: I love this. Took forever to find but it does exactly what I need it to do. Thank you.
• (2023-03-22) Carlos Alberto Mata Gil (CeuxDruman): No funciona, el navegador me sigue permitiendo hacer clicks en links o usar las teclas de ir adelante o atrás y por lo tanto sigo perdiendo información de la misma manera.
• (2023-03-22) Mahlon Mills: It works like a charm! (ps, you have to interact with the page, like clicking in a random spot, to get it working.
• (2023-03-11) Leone Morningstar: Its working only sometimes, not always. [SOLVED] [Edit]: It's all working now! Excellent extension! It just requires some interaction with the page so it can start working.
• (2023-02-20) Matthew R: @gabrielmaldi - you need to present the following info, more-concisely, to a new user at installation time, and make them "acknowledge" this point somehow, preferably with an animation and/or video. There is no place I see where I am "required" to understand the point below... and without this, your/this chrome extension is possibly doomed to have consistently-less-than-optimal ratings. I am perplexed in how you do not understand this point and have already implemented a solution. Can you please explain? @gabrielmaldi writes on 2022-08-01: "Chrome has this behavior where, after you click on the padlock, the extension won't be able to prevent the tab from being closed until you first interact (i.e. click anywhere on) the page. Please let me know if you try this and it works for you."
• (2023-01-13) Terry Pinnell: There is no 'Lock' item in any tab's context menu. Terry
• (2022-12-10) Matthew J. Masucci: doesn't work
• (2022-12-03) Richard Dauer: It didn't work for me either. But good for procrastinators-- you can waste a lot of time fuzzing with it.
• (2022-11-20) Isaac Thepipe: Didn't work at all. Followed instructions, interacted with page, then was still able to close tab with Crtl-W. Waste of time.
• (2022-11-12) tabliqat chi: Amazing extension and just what I needed! However, please add a BIG notice on your README on the Chrome store's page of your extension that after locking, some interaction with the page (at least some scrolling) is required or else it won't be locked. I realized this from one of the reviews here or else I would have given this the worst rating. But it's working anyway now, so please have my 5 stars and thanks a lot buddy!
• (2022-11-05) Maria Laura Visconti: Exactly what I needed and a lifesaver extension in my case, I would rate it far more than 5 stars if I coud!
• (2022-09-27) Konstantinos Sakkas: It does add a lock icon to the tab when that is marked as locked, however locked it is not. I could close the tab by middle clicking it, or by clicking on the X button, or by hitting Ctrl+W. Edit: Initially I had left a 2-star review. It appears like interacting with the page first enables the tab protection. Hence now it is doing its job properly.
• (2022-09-27) 一bjacksd: Love this application, if the extension doesn't work for you, just tab anywhere in the page once.
• (2022-07-29) Bart Cook: It doesn't appear to work, not in Chrome nor in Brave. The extension icon changes to the locked padlock, but I am not being prevented from closing the tab, not with Ctrl-W, not with the X on the tab. It would be nice if it worked, and even nicer if it could show something on the tab itself to indicate that it is locked.
• (2022-07-01) Vero Leyton: A very useful extension! I love it, I always close tabs by accident. A game changer. 12/5 stars

• (2023-03-03, v:1.1.0) Balazs Toth: Locked but Doesn't Work
  Dear publisher, This is a really useful extension however it does not seem to work. I see the lock icon on my tab but I can still close the browser and tab without any restraint or warning. I have tried re-installing the extension and same results. Any suggestions? Thanks!
