NoClose makes it harder to accidentally close Windows apps

NoClose is a tiny Windows tool that can save you from situations like these. Just launch NoClose, hit Ctrl+1 and the close icon in the upper right corner of your currently open program will fade out and you won't be able to close the app by clicking it. Hit Ctrl+1 again and it will reappear.

But NoClose should work with most programs that use the default Windows title bar.

That's my biggest beef with Chrome. I love it, but I always accidentally close it because it doesn't ask if I want to close all tabs. Most of the time it's when I'm trying to close Steam. If maximized, and you try to close in the top right, it will click underneath the program instead
