Despite repeated requests, Google simply refuses to implement a confirm on exit popup if multiple tabs are open, and it’s difficult to work out why they are so against the option.Įven extensions can’t provide something that works like most other browsers. It’s quite amazing to think the world’s most used browser does not have what is a potentially important function to so many people. Here we show you how to get a warning popup if your browser does not have one built in or re-enable the option if it’s been disabled. In most supported browsers it’s also easy for anybody to disable the warning prompt, so you’ll need to know how to re-enable it again. Not all browsers have this warning though, so if it’s an important function for you, you will either need to find a workaround or use another browser that does have it. To help prevent this kind of accident several web browsers include an option that warns you if you try to close the browser when multiple browser tabs are still open. While it’s possible to reopen the web pages that were previously open before the browser was closed, any data that had been typed in will be lost and you’ll have to start over. This can simply happen if you close the browser by accident by pressing X to close the window or the Alt+F4 shortcut. Whether this is typing into an online form, commenting on a blog/forum, or writing an online document, it’s not fun when everything is wiped away. That’ll close that tab no matter how stubborn it’s being (in my experience).One of the most common causes for frustration when using a web browser is accidentally losing data you have typed into the page.
Then click the End Process button in the lower right. They are listed by so hopefully you either recognize it or can drag the window wide enough to see the name in the tab itself. Window > Task Managerįind the tab in the list. You can get that tab closed by using the Task Manager. Perhaps there is an infinite-loop in the JS or some other madness and the tab just won’t crash, it just hangs. It happens to me maybe once a week as I’m browsing around different Pens on CodePen. You click the closing ✕ and nothing happens. That’s the whole “multi process” thing that Chrome brought to the WebKit party and was part of the reason for the Blink break-up.īut let’s say there is a tab that just won’t close. Each tab is like its own little universe so if it crashes it doesn’t affect other tabs. Normally Google Chrome is very good at allowing you to close misbehaving tabs.
