Lock Tab

It has one job and it doesn't do it

it doesn't lock any tab bro!!!!

I guess I misunderstood the functionality of the add-on. I thought it would prevent the tab from being closed. Unfortunately, I was able to close the locked tab without any problems.

In brave dont work, I dont have chrome, but in brave dont work, I close the tab and the tab closes easily

Absolute FAIL. Description says this extension "Prevents a tab from being closed accidentally," which it sort of does -- but it also keeps me from navigating within a site without giving permission, and giving permission quietly unlocks the tab, allowing me to accidentally close the tab. Fail fail fail. From reading the developer's responses to other reviews, Chrome does not allow a useful approach. Okay fine. Put this information in the description so we know the extension doesn't usefully do what it says, and can't be fixed because Chrome. I resent having my time wasted because of an incomplete and misleading description. Plonk.

Tab never locks no matter how many times I click on the lock icon. If I right-click and select Lock Tab a new tab to the instruction page opens. And yes, I interacted with the page. Completely useless.

Sometimes I have to click two or three times on the lock icon before the icon shows the tab as locked. Then a click somewhere in the page that is not a link, for the lock to become effective. Then if I attempt to follow a link, I can't do so without confirming (the Leave button), after which the tab is no longer locked.

Doesnt lock any tab from closing. Surprising how it has a 3.6 rating

Bad. To close chrome I need to confirm closing each individual tab which will prevent chrome from properly picking up where I left off the next time I open it.

not workding

Im a profgrammer, but cant figure out how it works. entering 192.168.178.102 or 192.168.178.102* click on that page of the website where it is open click on close tab and its gone. reopen it, close chrome, and everything is gone. So: Plugin doesnt keep the tab open and doesnt prevent accidental closing. Not working on latest chrome it seams.

Doesn't work. Pages close regardless. Multiple "locked" tabs. Interacted with all pages. Still close like normal, no warning, no nothing. Waste of time.

Doesn't work. Yes I "interacted" with a open tab.

does not work

Doesn't work at all. The icon just sits there, nothing happens if I click it.

Total waste of time. Author does not understand the KISS programming methodology. Keep-It-Simple-Stupid !

doesn't work

Didn't work at all. Followed instructions, interacted with page, then was still able to close tab with Crtl-W. Waste of time.

after reload the lock is gone, not useful

Sadly, I've had to lower my rating due to some unexpected behaviors I only just discovered. On a regular basis I perform online shopping routines on multiple sites. I thought that locking those shopping tabs would solve the problem of another extension I use to keep my tabs from multiplying by automatically closing background tabs that haven't been used in a preset number of minutes. While this did prevent those from being closed by the other extension, it unfortunately caused an issue that makes it impossible to use while shopping. Every time I try to add an item to a cart, the pop up appears asking if I'm sure I want to leave the page or I might lose changes (when there are no changes to be saved). I tried unlocking all my shopping tabs and pinning them while shopping, certain that would solve the problem. It didn't because although I have "auto lock pinned tabs" unchecked in the extension's settings, it is auto locking the tabs anyway, perpetuating the issue. I've posted the issue of pinned tabs locking improperly on the extension's Github page but have not yet heard back. Original review: Does what I need it too. Stops pinned tabs from changing pages when I forget to switch tabs before typing something in the address bar.

Great except when you have to relaunch Chrome for updates and it won't close because of the locks. You have to unlock everything, relaunch and then relock everything. Not feasible. Also a pain when reloading a page that you have to relock it.

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.

There is no 'Lock' item in any tab's context menu. Terry

It doesn't appear to work, not in Chrome nor in Brave. The extension icon changes to the locked padlock, but I am not being prevented from closing the tab, not with Ctrl-W, not with the X on the tab. It would be nice if it worked, and even nicer if it could show something on the tab itself to indicate that it is locked.

You have to reload your tabs first, and I downloaded this to lock a tab that I already had open. Other than that it works fine though.

Make the "leave site / cancel" popup default to cancel. It's too easy to accidentally hit return and then it defeats the whole point of having the pinned tab not close (or change).

The extension does not protect the tab from accidental closing in any way.

would be nice to able to lock a tab in a tab group.

It's very nice that you just click the icon and you can choose to lock the tab you are on. But I'm still able to accidentally close the tabs. I'm on Vivaldi, so maybe that's why. I detest the pin tab option built into the browser and it move the tab off to the left and hides all info about what that icon is for. I was really hoping this extension would work. Maybe the dev can respond and help me figure out why it's not working for me.

Locks tabs, but also flags when loading new pages in locked tabs. Since a ton of sites work by clicling and it takes you to a new page, this ends up being overly annoying for those pages. CNN, nytimes, washington post, all do that behavior. Even when I try and close chrome out, it warns me that I'm going to a new page. removing extension as not really usable in it's current form

ChromeOS Version 124.0.6367.225, Chrome browser Version 125.0.6422.141 - Installed, added tabs, interacted with them, but no lock symbol and both clicking the "x" and Ctrl-W closed the tabs. - Performed hard reload of each tab and the lock icon appeared, but I could still close the tabs by either method. - Restarted computer; same results. Am I doing something wrong? Do I misunderstand what the extension is supposed to do?
