Because intercepting last tab closing is not possible without JavaScript injection into webpages, therefore this is one possible way to get around.

- Automatically select newly created tab.
- Automatically pin newly created tab when there is no pinned tabs. (v0.4.1+)
- Automatically close New Tab tabs after opening a new tab.
- Open custom page. (v0.5)
