Stop edge from closing when close last tab
- DeletedJul 10, 2019
+1 for this, I just switched from Opera and this behavior is driving me insane. Please give us the option to change this. After a few hours of work/browsing, I just quickly CTRL + W and close all open tabs to "reset" the browser. If the browser closes with the last tab, that means I have to re-login to 1Password (super annoying because my password is really long).

I totally agree. It should not close the browser by closing the last open tab. I also came from Opera and use a password manager. If you want to close the browser, you can always X out of the main browser window.

Deletedno idea if there's any solution available natively but you can use this extension to stop edge from closing when the last tab is closed.
- DeletedJul 11, 2019Thanks, I know about that, but I'm not gonna install an old extension just to fix something so basic. If they don't want it in the settings, they should at least add a flag. I think that would be more than reasonable solution, since not many people are bothered by this, apparently.

Elliot Kirk, having a config option letting us choose the behavior of the browser when closing last tab would be greatly appreciable.
e.g. : closing / opening default tab / opening home page / ...

Please add a keystroke option for the menu choice "close other tabs". An extension for this [with an icon] for this would be be better yet! That way the keystroke could be changed/selected using the built-in Edge methods. I don't have any problem with leaving the current page open.
