Extension summary

Analyze keywords

A lightweight extension that prevents Chrome from closing when the last tab is closed.

It uses the naive and very simple method of opening a new tab when there is only one tab left. Another way to look at it is that it try to ensure that there are at least 2 tabs.

Features event page to ensure that it unloads when not needed. No options and nothing flashy to warrant a screenshot :P Making this extension as simple as possible.

Decided to make this as Chrome Toolbox doesn't work anymore on recent Chrome versions.
