Install the extension. 2. Open any web page. 3. IMPORTANT: Click anywhere on the page once. This is a browser security requirement to activate the protection. 4. Try to close the tab by pressing `Ctrl+W` (or `Cmd+W` on Mac). You will see a confirmation dialog. 5. Click the extension icon in your toolbar to open the menu and configure exceptions or other settings. 🏆 The DefendTab Advantage 👉 Your Digital Safety Net: Think of DefendTab as the ultimate safety net for your browser. It acts as a reliable guardian for your online documents, filled forms, and critical work sessions, ensuring you never lose progress by mistake. 👉 Intelligent Navigation Detection: DefendTab is smart. It understands the difference between an intentional click on a link and an accidental command to close a tab. This means you can browse freely and seamlessly without interruptions, and the protection only kicks in when you truly need it. 👉 Total Control at Your Fingertips: You are in command. Use the master switch to toggle all features on or off. Use a convenient hotkey (`Alt+W` by default) to add or remove sites from your exception list on the fly. DefendTab adapts to your workflow, not the other way around. 👉 Lightweight & Secure by Design: Built on the modern Manifest V3 platform, DefendTab is optimized for performance and security. It's incredibly lightweight and won't slow down your browser, all while keeping your settings stored safely and locally on your machine. 🎯 Who is DefendTab for?

No data is ever sent to external servers. 🔒 Transparent Permissions: DefendTab only requests the permissions absolutely necessary for it to function—to protect your tabs on any site. We've explained each permission in detail in our Privacy Policy. 💬 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1. How does the protection work? The extension uses the standard browser `beforeunload` API to intercept the tab closing event and show you a confirmation dialog. This is the most reliable method. 2. Will this extension slow down my browser? No. DefendTab is extremely lightweight and optimized for minimal resource consumption. It is built on the modern Manifest V3 for maximum security and performance. 3. Why does the extension need access to all sites? This is necessary so the protection works on any tab you might accidentally close. The extension does not analyze the content of the pages; it only reacts to the closing event. This is explained in detail in our Privacy Policy. 4. Can I disable protection for certain sites? Yes! That's exactly what the VIP "Exception List" feature is for. 🚀 Install DefendTab today and get complete control over your tabs! 📧 Contact & Support Have questions or suggestions?
