Chrome Refresh Guard - Chrome Browser Extension
This chrome extension can guard against navigating away from the currently inspected window as well as block any attempt to refresh the current page. Activate the guard by inspecting the browser window ("inspect element") and visit the newly created Refresh Guard tab from the devtools window.
Notes:
- This guard will only apply to the current page / browser window being inspected.
- If you attempt to navigate or refresh, the browser will display a generic dialog popup.
- Select "Leave" or "Refresh" to disable the Refresh Guard and again allow all navigation and refresh to occur.
- Select "Cancel" to block the navigation or refresh, which will keep you on the current page.
This extension is very basic and works well for simple use cases, such as:
UI Development and making local, ephemeral modifications to the current window in chrome devtools
Don't like websites/ other extensions auto navigating you away in general
Roadmap to Somewhere:
- Enable from status bar button instead of only devtools tab (help wanted)
- Prevent popstate or SPA route changes that don't trigger a navigation (help wanted)
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
