Don't Close Window With Last Tab- Edge Add-on
'Don't Close Window With Last Tab' is an Edge add-on designed to prevent the accidental closing of your browser by maintaining a single pinned page when all other tabs are closed. This ensures your browsing session continues uninterrupted. The add-on is non-intrusive, only inserting the pinned page when necessary, and maintains a clean interface. Additional settings can be configured in the 'Options'. Check out the open-source code on GitHub.
