Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

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

Works flawlessly now, although it temporarily didn't work with Chrome 105.0.5195.125 on Linux.

Finally I found what I needed the most! Do not close chrome when I close last page! Instead open new page! Works like charm!

Works like how it is described. You will need to restart the browser for this to take effect, due to how it works. Or you could open a new window, but there's no guarantee it will work that way.

Unfortunately, Google refuses to fix this ("won't fix"), so we have to rely on an extension. This extension takes a little getting used to, but the main thing is that it works! Thank you, Marcel Dopita :)
