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.

Glad such an extension exists! Note: It only works on tabs opened AFTER you install the extension. So I had to go and hit "reload" on my standard tabs that I wanted to protect. (Then click the extension button, then click anywhere on the page.) @gabrielmaldi - Might be good to include an animated gif or series of screenshot to show exactly how to use it for the first time, as it's not immediately clear.

ir works, attention to the steps: 1st install the extension; 2nd you need to write the url to the extension options (left textbox). 3rd Click inside the left textbox and paste the web address (don't try to delete the existing text, it will disappear as you type or paste). 4th click the SAVE button 5th activate the tab you wish to lock (to prevent that tab from closing) 6th refresh/reload the tab contents 7th click inside the web page contents 8th check if a "lock icon" was added before the tab title 9th try to close the tab 10th a message-box will be displayed, instead of closing the tab 11th if you really want to close the tab, you can click the "leave" button, otherwise click the "cancel" button. 12th don't activate the checkbox "Prevent this page..." otherwise you will disable the feature of this "Lock Tab" extension, therefore, you will be able to close the tab as usual, without any protection to prevent closing. Suggestion: a right-click on the tab-title to lock/unlock would be easier, instead of opening the extension options copying and pasting the url into the text area. I don't need the right textbox feature in the options page.

Works great, but please add more Settings options. For example, I don't want the extension to prepend the locket icon in the tabs. It gets ugly and it replaces the title especially when you have a lot of tabs open.

Doesn't work at all. The icon just sits there, nothing happens if I click it.

Exactly what I needed. I kept on leaving google meet and looking like an idiot. It is also worth mentioning that this extension prevents me from clicking on a bookmark in the same tab and leaving the meeting that way.

No funciona, el navegador me sigue permitiendo hacer clicks en links o usar las teclas de ir adelante o atrás y por lo tanto sigo perdiendo información de la misma manera.
