Overview

Product summary

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

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.

Good extension. A feature I'd like, which I believe a previous "lock tab" extension (which no longer exists) had, would be the option to prevent changing the URL of the tab, by either: - Showing the same "Leave site?" pop-up whenever you navigate to a new URL; or - Opening all different URLs in a new tab instead of in the existing one For me, it's also important that this feature would hook into the JavaScript API for changing the URL, not only full-page reloads, because nowadays a lot of websites are SPAs which manage page transitions fully within the JavaScript framework.

I'm so glad I'm not a profgrammer. It installed and works fine. This should keep me from screwing up and accidentally closing anything in my email/operations tab group.

Noticed the extension only locks tabs opened after installation. Pre-existing tabs don’t lock until refreshed. A simple fix, but worth noting!

As long as you interact with the locked page before trying to close it works great. I have several staff using the same computer and they all run important systems off it simultaneously, and closing a tab prematurely can cause issues. Also really appreciate that I can auto lock certain tabs so neither me nor my staff have to think about it on a day-to-day basis.

Tab never locks no matter how many times I click on the lock icon. If I right-click and select Lock Tab a new tab to the instruction page opens. And yes, I interacted with the page. Completely useless.

Sometimes I have to click two or three times on the lock icon before the icon shows the tab as locked. Then a click somewhere in the page that is not a link, for the lock to become effective. Then if I attempt to follow a link, I can't do so without confirming (the Leave button), after which the tab is no longer locked.

Two bugs: When I open a new tab, Lock Tab locks it! When I refresh an unlocked tab, Lock Tab locks it! These bugs make the extension close to useless.
