Some websites (such as Poal.co and MediaWiki sites) ask the user for confirmation (code-maven.com) users from leaving the page.

I have observed that if I click close on a browser window, one tab with an unsaved edit rescues the entire window from closure.

Spared me quite a few headaches.

Also, there are add-ons for deactivating keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl+Q for closing the entire browser.
