  • (2022-09-01) Robby Clauß: Funktioniert! Ganz simpel einen Tab per Kontextmenü sperren und beim Schließen des Tabs oder Fensters kommt eine Abfrage. Der Tab muss aber erst nach der Installation der Erweiterung geöffnet werden!
  • (2022-06-23) Rasmus Sørensen: As of June 2022, this extension still works perfectly, and does exactly what I need, which is to prevent closing tabs that I do not want to accidentally close (e.g. when using a web-app or filling out a form on a page that doesn't itself display a warning when closed). **NOTE: This extension doesn't work on tabs that are already open! Only tabs that you have opened after installing the extension. I think this might be why people get the impression that this extension doesn't work.** There are two ways to lock a tab: 1. Either click the extension icon in the chrome menu bar and select "Lock tab", or 2. Right-click anywhere on the page, and in the context menu select "Lock tab". Now, try to close the tab. It will display a popup, asking you if you really want to close the tab. Click "Leave" to close the tab, or "Cancel" to dismiss the dialog without closing the tab. Why do I need this? I use ctrl+w to close tabs, and sometimes I accidentally hit the tab one time more than I need. For instance, if coding or writing technical documentation, and I've opened one or two tabs to do some research, then I close the research tabs with ctrl+w, and if I hit ctrl+w one time too many, then I close the editor I was actually working in. This extension doesn't provide any way to "unlock" a tab, but I honestly don't need that in practice. When I want to close a locked tab, just close it as you'd normally would, and then press "Leave" in the pop-up dialog that asks you if you really want to close the tab. I really can't think of a use-case where having separate unlock feature is required, and having one would just bloat the extension with unnecessary code.

  • (2020-01-06) Gilu One: doesn't work.
  • (2019-04-02) Okay - will lock a tab, but why not 'unlock' - then you'd have a tab lock extension that actually works.
  • (2018-09-09) Works fine in Chrome but works only partially in Vivaldi (based on Chromium).
  • (2017-03-25) Gary Housknecht: Simply does not work. And if it does, the icon should change when on a locked tab OR put a small icon of some sort on any locked tabs. Sure would be nice to find a 'lock tab' for Chrome that actually works.
