Basics
What is Panic Button?
Panic Button is a browser extension that closes all your open tabs with one click or one keyboard shortcut and takes you to a safe page you choose. It saves your tabs first, so you can restore the whole session, pinned tabs included.
Which browsers does it support?
Chrome and Firefox. Chromium browsers such as Edge and Brave can install the Chrome Web Store version.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no account, no sign-up and no ads.
Using Panic Button
How do I open the settings?
Right-click the Panic Button icon on your toolbar and open settings. If you cannot see the icon, pin Panic Button from the extensions menu.
How do I restore my tabs?
Click Restore tabs in settings. Your last closed session comes back, including pinned tabs. The settings page shows how many tabs are saved.
What is the default shortcut and how do I change it?
The default is Ctrl+Shift+Y (Cmd+Shift+Y on Mac). Open settings and press Change shortcut to pick any combination. In Chrome you can also open chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
My shortcut does nothing.
Another program or browser feature may already use those keys. Choose a different combination in settings and try again.
What is the safe page?
It is the page that opens after your tabs close. Pick a search engine, a work site, or leave it blank for a fresh tab.
What does Clear today's history do?
When turned on, Panic Button removes today's browsing history as you panic. It is off by default, and Chrome cannot recover that history afterwards, so use it only when you want that.
Where are my saved tabs stored?
Tabs saved for restore stay on your computer.
Does it work in Incognito or Private windows?
Browsers keep extensions off in private windows by default. In Chrome, open the extension's details page and turn on Allow in Incognito. In Firefox, open the add-on's page in Add-ons and set Run in Private Windows to Allow.

Do I have to pay?
