Chrome always quit when I click on the X button on a tab, without asking me anything! Even when I close Chrome he do not alert me if I am willing to relay close it?

Many times it happened that accidentally I clicked on X button.

If you accidently close all your tabs you can reload Chrome and press CTRL + SHIFT + T.

This will restore your previous session for all your tabs.

You could also look for a Chrome extension such as Windows Close Protector.

True, if I accidently close all tabs I can reload chrome and press CTRL + SHIFT + T. But what happen if I have written text in some page? The text is not restored. – Ek Kosmos Jun 20 '11 at 10:31
@Ek then the plugin I linked is the better option in that case as it asks you if yo want to close the tab – Matt Jun 20 '11 at 10:56
Yes, thank you. – Ek Kosmos Jun 20 '11 at 11:20
in that case, you can edit the Preferences file in your user-data directory to set exited-cleanly to false, then start Chrome, and it will ask if you want to restore your session, in which case it will use the Current Tabs file to restore your tabs and the Last Session file to restore the text and other form-field settings. Yes, it’s a kludge, but it works in those (hopefully) rare instances. – Synetech Jun 26 '11 at 19:27
