So, I am am developing a Chrome Extension which means I am constantly accidentally closing Chrome:
And while you may not see it now, I've closed Chrome at least 8 times because of accidentally moving too fast and clicking the instead of the button for my extension. I mean the top of the button really is only 11 pixels away:
Now that you believe I'm not a psycho let me go through what I've tried.
- Setting for it? Nope.
- Another SU Question? YES! But wait, in the answer of the question it acknowledges that you can't stop Chrome from closing without warning when pressing the . Which is exactly my problem. (Yes, I know I can Ctrl + Shift + Tab to bring it back but really?)
NoClose (also from the same question above) does not work either.
I didn't even try the 2 Star Chrome Extension that claims it doesn't work anymore in the description of the extension itself, but I glanced at it for good measure.
How can I disable the , show a confirmation, or anything like that?
Side note 1: Bob made a good point in chat about how I could just move the icon to the left in front of the other extension icons. Yeah, that would work. But it's more of a workaround, and I'd still like an answer. Other devs might not have a bunch of extensions installed or have a good reason to be developing without other extensions that could cause conflict. In that case, there would be nothing to move behind of it.
Side note 2: Sort of unrelated but I've also closed Chrome when clicking in the past, so this question could help even non developers who are as sloppy as me.
