Description

Do not close browser with last tab
==================================

Chrome usually shuts down when its last tab is closed. This extension creates a
new window with the same properties as the closing one when this happens. You
might get a flicker, but the perceived effect will be that a new tab replaces
the closed one.

As there is neither a way to capture the window properties while the tab is
closing nor an event that informs about updates to the properties, they are
cached whenever the focus of the window or a tab changes (which includes
creating new windows and tabs).

This extension only works if the `Continue running background apps when
Chromium is closed` setting (under `Advanced`) is enabled (it is by default).

Known Issues
------------

XFCE: The properties of non-maximized windows given by Chrome are incorrect as
they do not account for border and title bar. This results in a displacement
when the window is re-created.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. 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. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
