Warmuser (ID: 000000073418a5f6) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/12/2017 Nice idea!!! I really appreciate your work. But please, limit the "exit confirmation" functon only to the closing "x" on the current tab and to the window "x" button. And add also a function of automatic reload of the current page when someone press the "cancel" button to abort the exit from the tab. Because on my browser the exension access automatically to the "about:blank", and If I press "cancel" the pace doesn't reload automatically. Anyway for me it's too much annoying to use these extension to surf on google results and switch from a website to another and always check for exit confirmation. Please, implement these valid extension with the above functions. Will become SUPER useful! ;)

Alan Winston (ID: 000000e999502f2f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/02/2017 I've been looking for a "confirm closing multiple tabs" ever since I moved to Chrome from Firefox, mostly to keep me from shutting the browser completely. I have occasional accidents when I will click on the wrong X and lose all my tabs instead of just the rightmost. When I got a touchscreen Chromebook three years ago, it became even more critical, since a little mispositioning of the thumb could mean closing all open tabs, instead of just adjusting the screen or putting the tablet to sleep. With this extension, if I bump or inadvertently click, the "close window" X, no tabs close if any tab is set for confirmation. That does what I was looking for. And I may find it useful for other purposes as well.
