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.
