Yeah it's what I use as a scratch buffer too. I'm just so used to being able to reopen a tab if I close it by mistake. Thanks for the info!

If you're looking to save yourself from accidental deletion, I tested the following, it adds a confirm dialog when closing the tab.

data:text/html,<div contenteditable style="height:100%"><script>addEventListener("beforeunload", (e) => {e.returnValue = "?";})</script>
