Tool to Prevent Closing Chrome by Accident
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
Chrome on Windows has no close confirmation, but recovery is quick: Ctrl+Shift+T reopens the last closed tab or whole window, and History > Recently closed lists more. On a Mac, turn on "Warn Before Quitting" in the Chrome menu to catch Cmd+Q. To keep a window's tabs safe on purpose, save them as a Tab Manager session; it doesn't save automatically, so save before you need it.
