Never Use a Warning When you Mean Undo

Re:Never Use a Warning When you Mean Undo by desigooner on Thursday January 27, 2011 @11:34PM (#2150815)

ever tried enabling the "Confirm to Quit" setting in the about:flags page in chrome?!

A little search before ranting would have certainly helped.

I'm relatively new to Chrome, and it's still not my default browser, so I hadn't heard of this "about:flags" page before.

I just checked that page out, however, and didn't see this "Confirm to Quit" setting. For someone who has a cat that constantly runs across his laptop, Firefox's warnings have been very handy, and greatly missed in Chrome.

You mean "a little search" to find a tool that's only available in the +1 version of Chrome? I don't think you should have to trade off stability for the ability to get a warning (or save state) before you nuke your browser.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know about that page. I still don't see any such setting, though. I'm on Chrome 8.0.552.237. What version are you using?

IIRC, it's 9.x and up only.
