> Maybe it’s for for analytics or even auto-logout when they leave the website. Yeah, don't do either of these things. Don't log me out when I close the tab. D

  > Don't log me out when I close the tab. What about being logged out of a real-time chat with your friend? Wouldn't you like them to know you are no longer connected? Or do you prefer to trick them with a little green 'connected' bubble that can no longer update?

  > Don't spy on me after I close the tab. Maybe a small nit but it isn't spying on you after you close the tab. It is spying on you the moment you close the tab and no later.

    If it's performing a request upon closing the tab, only two options are available: 1. it delays closing until it completes, which is a performance hit, or 2. it's performing more website specific background work when I've told the browser not to by hitting the Close Tab button.

      Interrupt the request, clean up after the tab. That's all. The second option is garbage collector. Not sure why the website is entitled to execute any code when I decided to close it.
