TIP: Be careful when using third party extensions on Chrome. The extension we will mention here is a third party extension that is offered in Chrome Web Store. Therefore, until (if that ever happens) this feature is added to Chrome, we will need to use an addon to permanently pin tabs. The concept of permanently pinnable tabs have been discussed a number of times by other Chrome users in the Chrome Help Forums, but as far as I know there's no official plans for adding this feature to Chrome. This is where pinned tabs come to our help.īookmarking tabs as a group is another option for easily accessing multiple tabs at once at a later time though, this requires manually opening them from the bookmarks page or the bookmarks menu, so it can't really replace the convenience pinned tabs offer.īy default, Chrome doesn't allow you to pin tabs permanently. In a world of web browsers with multiple tabs, we often open more than a few, sometimes dozens of tabs at the same time and after a while, it may get complex and hard to find the tabs you most frequently use. We can add to this list but I'm sure you get the basic idea. For example you may want to keep a tab in which you are writing an article to publish on your blog, a tab in which you are building a website using an online website builder, a tab in which you are preparing office documents for work, a tab in which you are frequently checking your emails, a tab in which you are watching some interesting YouTube videos, a tab in which you are listening to music or a tab in which you are chatting with your Facebook friends. You may need to keep a number of pinned tabs when you are working or spending some leisure time browsing the web. You can pin and unpin tabs in Google Chrome when viewing multiple web pages on multiple tabs in order to quickly access them whenever you need, so that you will not be wasting time for closing them and opening them again every time. Pinned tabs in web browsers is a step further than bookmarks allowing you easier access to the web pages that you most frequently use and thus prefer to keep them open all the time. I am keeping the tutorial as it is just for reference purposes. This means you don't need any plugins for this feature. UPDATE: Since writing this tutorial, Chrome has introduced the permanent tabs feature by default and now when you pin a tab, it will persist after you close and reopen Chrome, even after you restart your computer.
