Description from store
π‘οΈ LasTabGuard prevents accidental window closing and protects your work sessions and tabs β lightweight, local productivity tool for uninterrupted workflow.
π Lost an entire work session after a single wrong click? π« LasTabGuard is your ultimate safety net, protecting your open tabs and browsing sessions from accidental window closing β automatically, locally, and silently.
π It acts as a reliable guard, protecting your valuable tabs, research, and focus from being lost. Say goodbye to frustration and hello to uninterrupted productivity!
β¨ Key Features
π‘οΈ Automatic Ghost Anchor (Default): The core feature that instantly prevents a window from closing when the last tab is closed. Protection is active immediately after installation.
π£οΈ Confirmation Dialog: A powerful alternative to the Ghost Anchor. The extension will show an explicit βAre you sure?β safety prompt before letting you close the last tab.
π― Advanced Protection Modes: Choose exactly how you want to be protected! Protect any window, only the first browser window you opened, or every single window.
β
Site Whitelist: Have websites like Google Docs or Figma where you don't need protection? Add any site to the whitelist, and LasTabGuard will be disabled on those pages.
π Custom New Tab URL: Take control of your new tabs! Instead of the default page, open a specific URL (like your favorite search engine or a personal dashboard) or a completely blank page.
π Pin Anchor Tab: Keep your workspace extra tidy by having the "Ghost Anchor" tab appear as a small, pinned tab.
π Custom Notifications: Choose whether or not you want to see the "Window Saved!" confirmation after the extension saves your session.
π¨ Light & Dark Themes: A beautifully designed popup that automatically adapts to your system's light or dark mode.
β
Free Features & VIP Upgrade
π FREE: Enjoy the core "Ghost Anchor" protection forever. Your windows are always safe from accidental closing.
π VIP MEMBERSHIP: Unlock the full suite of professional tools for the ultimate power-user experience, including the Confirmation Dialog, advanced protection modes, site whitelisting, and all customization options.
π‘ How It Works
π€ LasTabGuard works silently in the background. When it detects only one tab is left in a window, it cleverly opens a special, temporary "anchor" tab for a split second to keep your window alive. When you open a new tab, the anchor disappears. Itβs seamless, fast, and requires zero effort from you.
π§ For even more control, our VIP version offers a "Confirmation Dialog" mode that asks for your permission before closing the window.
π¨βπ» Who is LasTabGuard For?
π Students & Researchers: Never lose hours of research spread across multiple tabs again.
π¨βπ» Developers & Designers: Keep your documentation, local servers, and design previews safe in one window.
βοΈ Writers & Content Creators: Protect your focus and prevent the loss of inspiration or written text.
πΌ Remote Workers & Multitaskers: Juggle multiple projects and windows with confidence.
π ...and anyone who lives in their browser and is tired of accidentally closing windows!
