Browser Extension

Browser Extension is a tool developed to enhance and personalize the web browsing experience by adding new functionalities or improving existing ones within a web browser. It aims to solve specific problems that users encounter during their online activities. Whether it's increasing productivity, improving accessibility, or providing quick access to useful information, browser extensions can be tailored to meet the diverse needs of users. For example, they can block unwanted ads, manage passwords, translate web pages, or even integrate with other web services to streamline workflows. The primary target audience includes regular internet users, professionals, and developers who seek to optimize their browsing experience.

'Browser Extension' can help by providing a structured approach to developing these tools. It guides users through the entire process of creating an extension, from concept clarification to deployment. This includes defining the purpose and audience of the extension, specifying its features, designing its interface, integrating necessary web services, and ensuring compatibility across different browsers. Additionally, it covers development and testing strategies, creating user support documentation, addressing security and privacy concerns, and planning a publishing strategy. By following this comprehensive plan, users can efficiently build and deploy browser extensions that are both functional and user-friendly, ultimately enhancing the overall web experience for their target audience.

Chrome Exit Saver

Chrome Exit Saver

Chrome

This Chrome extension is designed to prevent the accidental closure of the browser when only a single tab is open by prompting the user with a confirmation dialog. The primary goal is to safeguard users from inadvertently losing their work or the context of their current task due to a misclick or habitual closing of the browser. When the user attempts to close the last remaining tab in Chrome, the extension detects this action and displays a standard browser confirmation popup, asking the user to confirm their intention to close the tab. This added step serves as a safety net, ensuring that users have a moment to reconsider their action and potentially avoid the unintended closure of important tabs.

manifest.json

{
  "manifest_version": 3,
  "name": "Tab Close Confirmation",
  "version": "1.0",
  "description": "Ask for confirmation before closing the last tab in Chrome.",
  "background": {
    "service_worker": "background.js"
  },
  "permissions": [
    "tabs"
  ]
}

background.js

chrome.tabs.onRemoved.addListener(checkLastTab);

async function checkLastTab() {
  let queryOptions = { currentWindow: true };
  let tabs = await chrome.tabs.query(queryOptions);

  if (tabs.length === 1) {
    let confirmClose = confirm("Are you sure you want to close the last tab?");
    if (!confirmClose) {
      // Prevent tab closure (Note: This might not be fully effective due to browser security restrictions)
      chrome.tabs.create({}); // Create a new tab to prevent the window from closing
    }
  }
}

Integrating this feature directly into Chrome would enhance the user experience by offering a built-in layer of protection against accidental tab closure, especially when working with crucial information or during intensive research sessions. This would eliminate the need for external extensions, ensuring a seamless and more secure browsing experience for all users. By providing users with a native option to enable or disable this confirmation prompt based on their preferences, Chrome could cater to a wider audience, accommodating those who value this safeguard while maintaining efficiency for users who prefer uninterrupted browsing. Such a feature would reflect Chrome's commitment to user-centric design, prioritizing not just speed and efficiency but also the prevention of potential disruptions in the user's workflow.
