How to make Chrome ask when closing multiple tabs [WE ANSWER]

Despite the fact that Chrome is the market holder and the most used browser in the world, it still has some things that can be deal breakers. Namely, if you accidentally close Chrome with multiple tabs open, it will, well, just close. No warning, nothing at all. There’s no official way to make Chrome ask when closing multiple tabs.

One standard feature, available on other browsers, that was frequently asked for and never delivered is the Close all tabs prompt.
