Description from store
- Automatically reopens pinned tabs if they're accidentally closed, whether using keyboard shortcuts or mouse clicks
- When you click a link to a different website in a pinned tab, opens it in a new tab instead of replacing your pinned page
- If you type a new address in a pinned tab's address bar, opens it as a new tab to preserve your pinned page
The extension runs silently in the background with no configuration needed.
Open source and privacy-friendly: No data collection.
It does have some limitation an annoyances (pinned page refresh) due to technical limitations. You can read more about it on the Github page.

- (2025-02-08) Gary Smith: Just what I was looking for. I echo what others have said; this should be the default behavior.

- (2024-11-22) Colton Husske: Never have wrote a review but just installed this and it works exactly how I wanted. I like keeping pinned tabs on the same domain and never close is very useful.
