Last Tab Keepalive

Creates a new tab when the last tab is closed.

What is Last Tab Keepalive?

'Last Tab Keepalive' is a user-friendly Chrome extension designed to keep your browsing uninterrupted. It opens a new tab automatically when the last one is closed. As a result, Google Chrome remains active, thriving in the absence of closed tabs. Plus, it operates as a 'background app', meaning it can function even when Google Chrome is closed. Major features include not accessing any website data and the freeing of memory when inactive. Option to set default window size is available.

Это действительно по настоящему работающее расширение, которое позволяет не закрывать браузер после закрытия последней вкладки. В отличии от иных решений, которые тупо держит +одну вкладку в фоне. А это расширение делает тоже самое, что и в иных браузерах, где такая функция встроена изначально.
