Panic Button - Swift Browser History & Tab Closer Chrome Extension

'Panic Button' is a brilliantly sneaky Chrome extension designed to instantly close all open tabs and erase your browsing history of the past 24 hours. Ideal for those surprise encounters with your boss, parent or a nosy coworker, it's activated by a quick keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+Z). Apart from its core functions, it enables setting a predetermined, innocent-looking tab to open immediately after activation, disguising your previous activity.
