Prevents a tab from being closed accidentally
Adds a padlock icon that allows toggling each tab's lock/unlocked state. When a locked tab is being closed, a confirmation dialog which allows preventing the tab from closing, is displayed.
📣 IMPORTANT: after locking, some interaction with the page is required for it to work. So you need to, for example, click anywhere on the page after locking to actually prevent the tab from being closed. This is how Chrome works.

A very useful extension! I love it, I always close tabs by accident. A game changer. 12/5 stars |

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. |

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. |

Love this application, if the extension doesn't work for you, just tab anywhere in the page once. |

Exactly what I needed and a lifesaver extension in my case, I would rate it far more than 5 stars if I coud! |
