The Browser Edge will soon warn you if you go to close multiple tabs to avoid unwanted accidents.
Microsoft doesn't want Edge users to get frustrated when they accidentally close their tabs. For now, if you press the keyboard shortcut Alt + F4 or press the button window exit, Microsoft Edge or Chrome will simply close without warning.
The unwanted exit of the preletterbrowsing isn't the best, especially when you have several important browsing sessions open. Fortunately, Microsoft is now working on a solution to protect you from any unwanted accidents.
According to experimental flags found in Canary editions, you will soon be able to enable tab protection in Microsoft Edge to prevent your error before Windows or macOS shut down your browser.
Basically, you just have to go to settings of Microsoft Edge and enable the “Ask before closing multiple tabs” option, as shown in the screenshot below screens.
Once your command to close the entire window is activated, Microsoft Edge will display a pop-up warning when you try to close multiple active tabs.
There will be two choices. “Close All” to exit the browser and “Cancel” to continue using the browser. You can also select “Don't show me this question again” at emerging window to disable this feature without opening Edge's Settings page.
The Microsoft Edge solution is sleek and will not warn you when you have only one tab open. The warning only appears when you have several tabs open.
If you want to try this feature right now, install Edge Canary and turn on the test flag labeled "Ask Before Closing Multiple Tabs".
This feature is expected to reach firm versions of Microsoft Edge early next year and will save you valuable time if you are prone to closing your tabs incorrectly.
