Hi, I’m using the newest build of chrome, and as stated above, i was getting pinned tabs as well as duplicate unpinned tabs so i changed it back.

The problem I came here trying to fix was this:
When i search for something in my pinned google tab, if I were to close the browser it will open next time where i left it (with search results or whatever site i was on).
Without manually going back to the sites i want pinned before i close, how do i get it to open specific sites in the pinned tabs regardless of what i was doing in the last session?

Why go through all this trouble? How about enabling the “restore last saved session” option and never closing the pinned tabs!

Permanently Pin Tabs In Google Chrome…

When you pin a tab in Google Chrome, it shrinks to an extent that you can only see the favicon. This is a great feature for those users who have lot of tabs open and want to save up some space, but the biggest headache is that the pinned tabs are not p…

Thanks, I really like your site, it’s so cool and the content is great! I started off looking for joomla themes but somehow ended up here! Ahh, back to work I guess.

Chrome seemed to have fixed this. Downloaded the latest version (Windows). You can close Chrome and open everything as it was when you left it the previous session.

It should be noted I have the following in about://config

Chromium 5.0.391.0 (Developer Build 45775) Ubuntu WebKit 533.7 V8 2.2.4.2 User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.391.0 Safari/533.7 Command Line /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser --pinned-tab-count=3

on Linux (Ubuntu Lucid) I have the command…
env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so chromium-browser --pinned-tab-count=3 %U
(the env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so is only for a sound or webcam workaround or something)

If I add the URLs separately afterwards I get the pinned tabs PLUS the duplicates opened unpinned.

Cheers for the tip!

It may be because I have the new beta version?

They are still just normal tabs when I open up my Google Chrome instead of pinned tabs

By: Nakodari

The latest version of Chrome does not require any hacks. Just right-click the tab and there will be an option to Pin tab.

So what is the correct combo for dashes. I have the quotes and but it is outside the quotes but it just opens my three tabs like normal instead of in pinned form. Any help?

That opens the links but just as regular tabs not pinned tabs, is there a way to get around this?

If there are quotes, be sure to put the tag OUTSIDE the quotes. Hope this helps

Windows won't even let me put this as the target. It keeps telling me the target is invalid.

Yep. Same thing for me. i really liked having them already pinned when i opened chrome, but i guess this is a step in the right direction

They did some work on pinning, and it is back in the latest dev build (5.0.335.0). I can't get this permanent pinning to work on the newest build. Is anyone else seeing this?

5.0.322.2 build of Chrome no longer supports pinned tabs. I believe it has been gone since we got to version 5. I hope they bring them back. Apparently we will be getting App Tabs soon, hopefully we can pin pages as well.

if you set it using the –pinned-tab-count=x just delete that from the path. if you're still in chrome you can drag the pinned tab to the right and it will unpin it. also, you can visit other sites in the pinned tab by just typing it in the omnibox.

i'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but i hope this answers it

Excuse me，Can pin tab which I set not be closed or changed？

Make sure you are entering the correct double lines, i.e –pinned-tab-count=x

How do I undo this?

When going back into the properties, none of the stuff I added is there. I tried adding – -pinned-tab-count=0 but that doesn't work.

It keeps opening one of the things I used to use this for, no matter what I do. Please help.

same command works in Ubuntu, for those interested. Right click the launcher for chrome, click properties and then add the same command as above, being sure to leave spaces between each URL you want permanently tabbed.
