A lightweight extension that prevents Chrome from closing when the last tab is closed.
It uses the naive and very simple method of opening a new tab when there is only one tab left.
Another way to look at it is that it try to ensure that there are at least 2 tabs.
Features event page to ensure that it unloads when not needed.
No options and nothing flashy to warrant a screenshot :P
Making this extension as simple as possible.
Decided to make this as Chrome Toolbox doesn't work anymore on recent Chrome versions.

=================
KNOWN BUG (probably fixed):
As the function that creates the new tab locks for about 1 second to alleviate the problem of multiple new tabs opening on operations like using 'close tabs to the right' on a large number of tabs:
- there may be times where the new tab does not show up (e.g fast closing of tab, faster than 1 second when the function is still locked) or
- there may be times when more than one new tabs show up (e.g using 'close tabs to the right' on a large number of tabs, slower than 1 second thus triggering the function again).

We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version.
