Comment #16 on issue 1820 by uogpjf: Feature request: Display confirmation dialog when closing Chrome with more than one active tab http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1820
Just getting the tabs back is NOT ENOUGH. What about content you may have typed into the various tabs that are not currently on-screen, and sites you were "logged into", when you absentmindedly clicked "Close"? You can't expect the browser to resolve all of that upon startup. If one of those tabs contain an e-mail, or other posting that I have researched, copied/pasted info into, and carefully phrased over a long time, you can be sure that I'm upset if it's blown away! So how does one close the browser by accident? A) By meaning to close the current page, but forgetting the other tabs are there. B) By tapping the wrong [X] when multiple windows are overlapped. I'd be willing to bet just about everyone here has done one or the other, I do both. Sadly, it seems I do the former far to often. Fortunately, the Zimbra webmail I use has an automatic periodic checkpoint to "Drafts". I'd much rather Chrome had the option be there to warn me, and I don't mind if the default state is "off". Those that get burned once, and want it, will go find it, and turn it on (as I just tried to :-) Yes, one can goon automatic and click both without thinking, but in may case, I find Firefox's warning sufficient. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
