Lets you lock a tab,so that it asks for confirmation before you close it.

You can right click on a tab, and check "Lock this tab". If this is enabled, the tab will show a confirmation popup if you try to close it. This can be useful if you often find yourself accidentally clicking links off a page, and losing whatever was previously on the page once you go back (because the content of the page changes after every reload).

The confirmation mechanism seems to only work for a tab that you have clicked inside of at least once. There doesn't seem to be a way for me to fix this.

Extension safety

A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
