What's left of "Pin tab" in Chrome? Are they just useless? [closed]
Chrome remembers them during restarts. They don't have any close protection or new tab opening.
You can however make them somewhat permanent by adding command line switches to the Chrome shortcut.
Go into the shortcut's properties, then add the following line after the location in the "Target" box. Substitute x with the number of pinned tabs you want.
- -pinned-tab-count=x [urls in here sepererated by spaces]
That will make the urls you put in load on startup as pinned tabs.
