About

🚀 Stop Chrome from closing completely and enjoy instant startup!

Description: Keep Browser Alive prevents your browser process from terminating when you close the last window. This ensures that when you click the browser icon again, it opens instantly without a "cold start."

✨ Key Features:

⚡️ Always Ready: Keeps the Chromium process running in the system tray/background. No more waiting for the browser to load.

🔄 Smart Session Restore: (New!) Automatically remembers your open tabs before closing. When you reopen the browser from the background, it restores your previous session exactly as you left it. This feature can be toggled on/off in the popup menu.

🛡️ Perfect for iCloud Passwords: Tired of entering the 6-digit verification code every time you restart your browser? By keeping the browser alive in the background, your session remains active, and you won't need to constantly re-authenticate.

🎛️ Easy Control: A simple and intuitive popup menu allows you to toggle the background keep-alive function or the tab restoration logic globally.

🔒 Privacy First: Open-source project. No data collection, no analytics, and no tracking.

🌍 Multi-language Support: (v1.0.2 Update) Now supports English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, and Korean!

How it works:

Enable "Run in Background" to keep the browser active.

Enable "Restore Tabs" if you want your tabs to reappear when you reopen the browser.

Enjoy a lightning-fast browsing experience!
