Stop edge from closing when close last tab
+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 https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/last-tab/nggjcpipkefkgldicofgmealjndjnhba to stop edge from closing when the last tab is closed.
zeeshanali1993Um, yes, except that is a Chrome extension and we're discussing Microsoft Edge. The current release version of Edge doesn't support Chrome extensions -- you have to download the beta.
- Thanks, 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.
People who want to close Edge can just close Edge. People who don't want to close Edge shouldn't have to install extensions to keep from closing it accidentally. Radical, I know.
