Question

How can I prevent Chrome from terminating on closing the last opened tab? Instead of terminating, I want Chrome to always display a blank open tab.

Truly disappointing Google hasn't added a settings option for this, 
even after four years of complaints.

No need to add extension or anything on Chrome instead you could disable home page button which would automatically disable closing Chrome when the last tab is closed.

I found this solution by chance.

Open a new tab then right click on it and select "pin"

Hopefully it works for you guys.
