Reviews of lock tab:
It works like a charm! (ps, you have to interact with the page, like clicking in a random spot, to get it working.
Its working only sometimes, not always. [SOLVED] [Edit]: It's all working now! Excellent extension! It just requires some interaction with the page so it can start working.
@gabrielmaldi - you need to present the following info, more-concisely, to a new user at installation time, and make them "acknowledge" this point somehow, preferably with an animation and/or video. There is no place I see where I am "required" to understand the point below... and without this, your/this chrome extension is possibly doomed to have consistently-less-than-optimal ratings. I am perplexed in how you do not understand this point and have already implemented a solution. Can you please explain? @gabrielmaldi writes on 2022-08-01: "Chrome has this behavior where, after you click on the padlock, the extension won't be able to prevent the tab from being closed until you first interact (i.e. click anywhere on) the page. Please let me know if you try this and it works for you."
