| 2025-01-10 |  | | en | It's very nice that you just click the icon and you can choose to lock the tab you are on. But I'm still able to accidentally close the tabs. I'm on Vivaldi, so maybe that's why. I detest the pin tab option built into the browser and it move the tab off to the left and hides all info about what that icon is for. I was really hoping this extension would work. Maybe the dev can respond and help me figure out why it's not working for me. |
| 2025-01-08 |  | | en | Using it to keep myself from accidentally closing//hitting back while working on my music videos and it works perfectly. Great little extension that allows you to have the "Changes you made may not be saved" anywhere you need it. Essential for anyone who does browser based work. |
| 2025-01-07 |  | | en | So much better than Chrome Close Lock. You can easily lock or unlock tabs or set certain tabs to auto lock. |

| 2024-12-02 |  | | en | Im a profgrammer, but cant figure out how it works. entering 192.168.178.102 or 192.168.178.102* click on that page of the website where it is open click on close tab and its gone. reopen it, close chrome, and everything is gone. So: Plugin doesnt keep the tab open and doesnt prevent accidental closing. Not working on latest chrome it seams. |
| 2024-11-26 |  | | en | I’m so glad I found this extension. It’s such a small yet incredibly effective solution. I often accidentally close important tabs, especially ones with active sessions that can’t be recovered, and I was even considering building my own extension to solve this issue. Luckily, I found yours instead. Thank you so much for developing this tool. Wishing you all the best, and I hope this extension gets the higher rating it deserves, you’re worth more than 4 stars. |
