Creates a New Tab when you are at your last tab to prevent the window from closing.
A lightweight extension that prevents Chrome from closing when the last tab is closed.
It uses the naive and very simple method of opening a new tab when there is only one tab left.
Another way to look at it is that it try to ensure that there are at least 2 tabs.
Features event page to ensure that it unloads when not needed.
No options and nothing flashy to warrant a screenshot :P
Making this extension as simple as possible.
Decided to make this as Chrome Toolbox doesn't work anymore on recent Chrome versions.
=================

0.91 [28/11/12]
- added a delay to the tab creation method
0.90 [26/11/12]

=================
KNOWN BUG (probably fixed):
As the function that creates the new tab locks for about 1 second to alleviate the problem of multiple new tabs opening on operations like using 'close tabs to the right' on a large number of tabs:
- there may be times where the new tab does not show up (e.g fast closing of tab, faster than 1 second when the function is still locked) or
- there may be times when more than one new tabs show up (e.g using 'close tabs to the right' on a large number of tabs, slower than 1 second thus triggering the function again).

- (2022-08-06) chase carter: 👍
- (2022-02-17) Luca: Works fine, could you post the code on GitHub? I would like to create such an extension :)
- (2021-09-16) Newtomic: I'm sorry but this Extension doesn't do what it says "Creates a New Tab when you are at your last tab to prevent the window from closing.", instead it maintains 2 tabs open in any window at all times, it's just a bad workaround/hack to the problem, not a real solution.
- (2020-12-04) Mojtaba Vahdati: It keeps "two" new tabs open and it's annoying. I expected only "one' tab to remain open when I didn't need any tabs.
- (2020-11-11) Idris Dragon: Overcomes Chrome's most annoying feature
- (2020-11-10) Niko: 一般般 会出现2个标签页
- (2016-11-16) Jozef Mikušinec: Cannot drag tabs to a different window, because a new tab is immediately created in a new window. Also, sometimes the new tab is opened with significant delay so it's possible to close window. Still useful against accidentally closing chrome :)
