Keep Last Two Tabs Extension

This is a silly extension. It's made to prevent Chrome quits when you close last tab. But it's not really work as you may expect. It keeps you Chrome has at least two tabs. Because *intercepting* last tab closing is not possible without JavaScript injection into webpages, therefore this is one possible way to get around.

Options:

* Automatically select newly created tab.
* Automatically pin newly created tab when there is no pinned tabs. (v0.4.1+)
* Automatically close New Tab tabs after opening a new tab.
* Open custom page. (v0.5)
* Support Chrome Sync. (v0.6)

This extension is an Open Source project, licensed under the MIT License. You can find it via Website link.

Ryan Davidson (ID: 0000008fa8857835) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/06/2021 Does exactly what I need - stops the silly browser from closing when I want to clear my last tab. Heaven knows why Chrome developers refuse to implement this. It helps to pin the left-most tab that was auto-created - keeps it out of the way.

Thomas Backhaus (ID: 00000091979c2899) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/26/2020 Die bisher einzige Erweiterung dieser Art , die mir nicht das interne Tab-Handling von Chrome fast komplett aushebelt. Sehr gut, weiter so! PS.:An alle ANDEREN Erweiterungsautoren: Schämt euch!

Henning Fredriksen (ID: 00000028f0656748) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/11/2014 I recommend enabling all options, and setting the custom tab to 'chrome://newtab'. Try it out.
