If you use pinned tabs in Chrome, you might be frustrated by how easy it is to accidentally lose all of them.

Pushpin is here to help!

📌 Save your preferred set of pinned tabs
📌 Instantly reset any or all pinned tabs back to your saved configuration
📌 Move your pinned tabs to the front window without reloading them
📌 Set keyboard shortcuts for each pinned tab (shortcuts can be global)
📌 Modify your keyboard shortcuts so that Ctrl/Cmd-n will open the n-th unpinned tab

Bugs? Questions? Ideas?

The Chrome Web Store's reviews page is quite limited, and I don't get notifications when people write reviews. Feel free to leave a rating, but if you'd like to report a bug or make a feature request, please do so on GitHub instead so I will see it immediately and so that I can ask for more info: https://github.com/szhu/pushpin/issues

Sam B (ID: 000000588aeaed93) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/17/2023 So good! This was exactly what I wish chrome would implement. I want 3 pinned tabs up every time I open Chrome, but unfortunately Chrome doesn't support that. Now I just push the pushpin, and there they are. :) I wonder if the dev could have an "open these pinned tabs upon startup" option; that way I wouldn't even have to push the pushpin. Great extension.
