Adds a safety exit button that lets visitors leave a website quickly.

== Description ==

When we started building websites for nonprofits, we kept hearing the same message from staff and volunteers:

Some visitors need a way to leave a page fast.

For organizations supporting people experiencing homelessness, survivors of domestic abuse, and anyone navigating sensitive situations, a small website feature can make a meaningful difference, especially when someone may be browsing resources in a shared space or under pressure.

So we built a clean, lightweight Safety Exit Button and released it for free, so any organization can add a quick exit option without custom development.

= Features =

* Instantly redirects to a neutral destination (default: Google)
* Opens the configured exit destination in a new tab before attempting to close the current tab
* Uses location.replace() to prevent returning via the Back button
* Change the redirect URL in settings (Google, weather, news, anything)
* Choose button placement: bottom-right, bottom-left, top-right, top-left
* Choose button style: square, rounded, pill, or custom radius
* Match your site colors
* Optional ESC key triggers exit

= Important note =

No website can guarantee removing a visit from a browser's History list or force every browser to close a tab. This plugin focuses on the industry-standard goal: immediate exit and preventing accidental return via the Back button.

== External services ==

Safety Exit Button does not send data to Clicksmith or any external API.

When a visitor activates the Safety Exit button (or the optional ESC shortcut), the plugin opens a new tab to the URL configured by the site administrator (default: https://www.google.com), attempts to close the current tab, and falls back to redirecting the current tab if the browser blocks tab closing. This navigation happens in the visitor's browser.

If you keep the default redirect, the visitor will load Google in their browser:
* Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms
* Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

If you change the redirect to another website (for example, weather.com), that third-party website's own terms and privacy policy will apply.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this remove the site from browser history? =
No. Browsers control History. The plugin prevents return via Back and provides a fast, discreet exit.

= Does this close the current browser tab? =
It tries to. Browsers usually only allow scripts to close tabs that were opened by script, so the plugin also redirects the current tab if closing is blocked.

= Will this break Elementor or theme storage? =
By default it clears sessionStorage only. Optional localStorage cleanup removes only keys matching prefixes you set.
