Still waiting for Google to add a feature to display a warning alert box when you try to close all tabs by accident, but a decade later no such feature exists even though everyone wants it, and Firefox has it, and it seems trivial to implement.


Control-shift-T when you start Chrome back up again.

I don't want the feature you describe. I prefer undo to confirmation.


If you CMD Q on osx you get a warning


Which is annoying. I though that would be a good idea, because I occasionally closed a browser by accident. In reality I more often than not actually want to close Chrome, and the "press and hold cmd+q" is pretty annoying.


On the flip side, I often hit it accidentally when hitting cmd-w, and I don't think I ever intentionally hit it. Choosing good defaults is hard.
