User reviews

Closure is appreciated for preventing accidental tab closures and is generally simple to use. However, users report bugs and unreliable behavior, including the need to re-enable settings after restarting Chrome. The extension lacks privacy information, which concerns some users. Additionally, once a tab is set to require closure confirmation, it cannot be unlocked, which may interfere with some workflows.

Pros

Helps prevent accidental closure of browser tabs, saving work and time.
Simple and easy to use with the intended functionality.
Many users find it useful and effective when it works properly.

Cons

Extension is sometimes buggy or doesn't work reliably on all users' systems.
Settings do not persist after closing Chrome, requiring re-enabling each time.
Lacks transparency as there's no privacy policy or information in the privacy practices tab.
Once a page is locked for closure confirmation, it cannot be unlocked, limiting flexibility.

Sometimes a little buggy, but good.

I don't know why it has only 2.8 stars, it works as intended and it's really useful!

Disappointed I always accidentally click the X, but before this works, go to your extensions, click on the 3 dots, and enable closure confirmation. It only works on websites you confirm it on, which is annoying, so just confirm it on a tab you always have open BUT you have to enable it everytime you open chrome.
