Lock Tab Extension

Adds a padlock icon that allows toggling each tab's lock/unlocked state. When a locked tab is being closed, a confirmation dialog which allows preventing the tab from closing, is displayed.

📣 IMPORTANT: after locking, some interaction with the page is required for it to work. So you need to, for example, click anywhere on the page after locking to actually prevent the tab from being closed. This is how Chrome works.

Mark LaFlamme (ID: 000000e8a16c0800) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 01/08/2024 Actually made me lose a tab I was trying to lock. Will lock some tabs, but not others. Uninstalling before it can mess me up any further.

Fabio De Pasquale (ID: 0000006383165901) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/07/2023 Works great, but please add more Settings options. For example, I don't want the extension to prepend the locket icon in the tabs. It gets ugly and it replaces the title especially when you have a lot of tabs open.

Hermann “Gwz40” Brewitzch (ID: 0000007652be60ec) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/15/2023 Doesn't work at all. The icon just sits there, nothing happens if I click it.

Oqarshi (ID: 000000e7f6368f4f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/09/2023 works like a charm!

Joe Manning (ID: 00000058e2cca1ed) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/18/2023 Exactly what I needed. I kept on leaving google meet and looking like an idiot. It is also worth mentioning that this extension prevents me from clicking on a bookmark in the same tab and leaving the meeting that way.
