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.

It works like a charm! (ps, you have to interact with the page, like clicking in a random spot, to get it working.

Its working only sometimes, not always. [SOLVED] [Edit]: It's all working now! Excellent extension! It just requires some interaction with the page so it can start working.

There is no 'Lock' item in any tab's context menu. Terry

Didn't work at all. Followed instructions, interacted with page, then was still able to close tab with Crtl-W. Waste of time.

Amazing extension and just what I needed! However, please add a BIG notice on your README on the Chrome store's page of your extension that after locking, some interaction with the page (at least some scrolling) is required or else it won't be locked. I realized this from one of the reviews here or else I would have given this the worst rating. But it's working anyway now, so please have my 5 stars and thanks a lot buddy!

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

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. Edit: Initially I had left a 2-star review. It appears like interacting with the page first enables the tab protection. Hence now it is doing its job properly.

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

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.
