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.

Wonderful little solution for something that should be a browser feature

Perfect to keep some tab to not be close. Could you please add an option to keep : Chrome://newtab

This extension is a lifesaver. I accidentally manage to almost close my browser at least twice a day.

Locks tabs, but also flags when loading new pages in locked tabs. Since a ton of sites work by clicling and it takes you to a new page, this ends up being overly annoying for those pages. CNN, nytimes, washington post, all do that behavior. Even when I try and close chrome out, it warns me that I'm going to a new page. removing extension as not really usable in it's current form

As a fellow Chrome Extension developer: This is Awesome! Thank you for taking my feedback on Github seriously and adding the new auto-lock pinned tabs feature!

Doesn't work. Pages close regardless. Multiple "locked" tabs. Interacted with all pages. Still close like normal, no warning, no nothing. Waste of time.

Perfect across multiple Chromium based web browsers! Locks navigation, so my mouse gestures don't refresh/move away from a page that I'm looking to keep active. Vivid icon, that shows with the tab title for clear indication of where it's been engaged. Will use for a variety of tasks from keeping support chats with a wait time open, to locking onto pages where I'm pre-buffering content. Disclaimer: Assuming you can run an extension by installing it, without optimizing your browser (restarting it) is like looking to use update features without using a new session so the update has a chance to populate.

Does what it says. as well as clicking somewhere in the window, the first time you install it you need to restart chrome I think.

ChromeOS Version 124.0.6367.225, Chrome browser Version 125.0.6422.141 - Installed, added tabs, interacted with them, but no lock symbol and both clicking the "x" and Ctrl-W closed the tabs. - Performed hard reload of each tab and the lock icon appeared, but I could still close the tabs by either method. - Restarted computer; same results. Am I doing something wrong? Do I misunderstand what the extension is supposed to do?
