Don't Close Window With Last Tab
Prevent closing of Google Chrome with the last tab, the least intrusive way.
This extension keeps a single pinned page to prevent closing Chrome when the last tab of the last window is closed (or every window, it's configurable). To keep the tab bar clean (unlike other extensions), the pinned page is inserted only when absolutely necessary. It also handles well cases when tabs are moved between windows.
"Don't Close Window With Last Tab" provides no user interface or interaction for users. It only lets users configure additional configuration in "Options".
This extension is open source, to be found at: https://github.com/moneytoo/DontCloseWindowWithLastTab

doesn't work anymore, please update
Recently not working in incognito mode
This used to work perfectly for me, but recently it's constantly failing. Without me doing anything differently it will fail to keep a tab in the background, and won't work again until I turn it off and on.
Life saver! Seriously, such an annoying thing to have in the browser.
Is anyone has any ideas why this extension periodically stops working and needs to be reinstalled (or off/on again)? I don't change any settings.
not working
a "new tab" stays pinned and won't close when opening new tabs.
This has worked great for years, but a couple of days ago it stopped working. I tried the alternatives, but they are nowhere near as good, however in desperation I reinstalled and presto! It works again. If you find it stops working, try uninstalling and reinstalling.
Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Thank you!
Working great as how I wanted it to be! Thank you for this extension!
it works fine. Thanks
Works
not working.
Pure love.
Works but now adds a pinned tab that will NOT go away when starting Chrome. It just comes back IMMEDIATELY after closing it if there are other tabs open. Uninstalling.
Works on Chrome for Windows, Version 119.0.6045.160.
Stopped working Nov 2023.
Unfortunately this doesn't work for me as of November 2023.
Одно из лучших в этом плане, ставьте именно это. Остальные работают либо коряво, либо вообще не работают
works perfectly. exactly what I was looking for.

This option will be part of Chrome. We need this extension for this.

用了很久的工具,来点个5星好评。
I used it and it worked, but as of October 2022 it suddenly stopped working. I'm using latest chrome.

thanks so much :)
thanks so much :)
Love this addon! Only one issue I'm having though... I use it with Tab Activate, and whenever I click a link while the browser is closed, it opens to the "new tab" that Don't Close opens. Is there a way to get it to open to the tab that has the link I clicked? If this is a Tab Activate issue I'll post there but I figure it's one of the two not working right with the other.

好像并不适用于最新版本的谷歌,会有2个新的标签出现
Thanks for extension, but not working on Chrome. Only in Edge. I mean, I use Edge and Chrome (also Maxthon but doesn't need this add-on). So, it's something changed in Chrome. Waiting for update for Chrome.

This used to work great, but recently the extension stopped working completely. It no longer enforces one "New tab" per window, and when I close the last tab it closes the window. So, it's completely useless at the moment. I've tried removing and re-adding the extension, and playing with the settings, but still nothing works. Did something change with the extension or chrome?

thanks for fixing the weirdness with sometimes an extra new tab opening! (i'm on brave.) it would be great for my visual OCD if the little pinned tab just stayed there all the time, instead of disappearing and re-creating itself. but not if that's gonna break other stuff. thanks so much for this add-on!

Always worked. But, for me, last updated sometimes makes a new tab pop out when I close second to last tab.
