## Description

Keep browser open when the last tab is closed. On some browsers it is possible to keep the browser open when the only tab is closed; this extension simulates that behavior. It does this by making sure there are at least two tabs at all time; if the number of tabs drops to one, a new tab is created (either a normal or a pinned tab depending on the condition).   (copy)
