Backstory, Justification
I recently had trouble after an upgrade, with extensions not opening as expected. I googled the error, ChromeMethodBFE: 15::LockFile::1
issues with extensions acquiring locks on their settings files, followed advice to restart the browser and observed the issue still existed. I played a bit with observing the process tree, then, which I quit to restart again, notice that brave did not fully exit with my call to [(hamburger menu)] > Exit
.
Uncaught (in promise) Error: IO error: .../LOCK: No further details. (ChromeMethodBFE: 15::LockFile::1)

Request
I have many PWAs installed and in use, from a chat app, to two email clients, notes app, and I wish there were a way in browser to close them all in one click, after an update (or when debugging an issue) instead of needed to run $ killall brave
in my terminal.
