About Global Tab & Browser Protector
Stop accidental browser or tab closures instantly. Automatically protects your open pages and work with a confirmation warning.
Never lose your work or important pages by accident again!
Global Tab & Browser Protector acts as a safety net for your browsing session. It automatically prevents the frustration of accidentally closing an individual tab or your entire browser window by prompting a "Leave Site?" confirmation dialog.
KEY FEATURES:
✅ Automatic Protection: Works instantly on all open tabs as soon as they load.
✅ Smart Detection: Intelligently ignores legitimate actions like clicking links, submitting search forms, or refreshing the page (F5/Ctrl+R), so the warning only appears when you actually try to close the tab/browser.
✅ Visual Confirmation: Shows a subtle blue status message at the top of protected pages so you know you are safe.
✅ Customizable: Easily hide the on-page status message via the extension popup settings if you prefer a cleaner look.
✅ Privacy Focused: Runs entirely locally on your device with zero data collection.
IMPORTANT USAGE NOTE:
Due to modern browser security policies, you must interact with a page at least once (e.g., click anywhere on the page) after it loads for the protection warning to become active.
