About Permanent Tabs
Permanent Tabs keeps your important browser tabs from getting lost.
Mark any tab as permanent and Permanent Tabs will automatically restore it if you close it by accident. Your protected tabs can also be restored after restarting Chrome, while keeping useful details such as their latest URL, pinned state, position, and tab group whenever possible.
Perfect for tabs you always want available, such as Gmail, GitHub, project dashboards, documentation, messaging apps, admin panels, or any page you use throughout the day.
