If we want to return the tab to its natural state, we repeat the process, but this time we click on Do not set.

We will see how it places the window on the left side, in a smaller size and without the possibility of closing it since it has the button with the X.

We click with the right button of the mouse on the tab that we want to protect.

All we have to do are these simple steps:

With this internal trick of the browser, the icon with X that serves to close the tabs will disappear, in addition to placing it on the left of the list. There is a way by which we can fix Chrome tabs so that they do not close.

The problem is not to recover the tab, since we can do it through the History, but the information we have entered, for example, will be lost and you will have to put it back. If the browser you normally use is Google Chrome, you may have closed one of its tabs or window and it is the most important of all those you had open. Therefore, we select one of them, press the combination Ctrl+Shift+W and accept to save the changes.įrom that moment, we can already see how pressing this keyboard shortcut opens the selected extension, but does not close Google Chrome.

Now it will take us to a window where we will be able to indicate which key combination opens those extensions.

Now we will see in the top right part of the screen three vertical stripes and the word Extensions next to it.

We open a Chrome window and type chrome://extensions in the address bar, and then press Enter.

In this way, we do not directly override the keyboard shortcut, but we do prevent the browser from closing. But, since it is something that we cannot do directly, we are going to do it by assigning this same combination of keys as direct access to some of the extensions that we have activated in the navigator. To do this, what we can do is to change the action of the key combination Ctrl+Shift+W so that it does not close our browser instances open on the desktop.
