Tab Protector

Tab Protector is a browser extension designed for preventing accidental closure or refreshing of specific sites. Ideal for users who often fill out lengthy forms or engage in workflows that must not be disrupted, this extension offers a straightforward solution to avoid losing work. Once configured, protection is automatically enforced whenever you revisit a listed URL.

How to choose a URL:

• Entering a URL will apply the protection to any URLs that start with what you submitted.
• For example, protecting "example.com" will also cover "example.com/path", but protecting "example.com/path" won't also cover "example.com".
• The same is true for subdomains. If you set "example.com" as protected, that won't cover "sub.example.com" or "sub.example.com/path" because they don't start with "example.com", and vice versa.

IMPORTANT:

• Due to Chrome's restrictions, this will only work for pages once you've somehow interacted with the page at any point after loading it, like by clicking anywhere inside the viewport once.
• For example, if you open a site you set as protected and then immediately try to close it without using the site at all, it will close without prompting you. Although, if you are using this for a site, then it is probably to keep work (interactions) from getting deleted on refresh/close, so you likely won't need to think about this.

Key Features:

• Tab Close/Refresh Protection: Once activated for a particular URL, the extension prevents the tab from being refreshed or closed accidentally, no matter how the refresh/close is initiated. Users attempting to close a protected tab will see a popup asking if they truly want to close the tab. A notification will also show on the page briefly to remind them why that is showing.
