The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.

About Unique Tabs

Before closing the tabs, a notification is displayed. Clicking "Cancel" in the notification within a brief delay (~5 seconds) prevents the tabs from being closed.
