About Sticky Tabs

Like Arc-style sticky tabs but for regular chrome tabs. No custom sidebar. Just native chrome tabs. Keeps a tab in the tab bar (horizontal or vertical) when you close it: in the right tab group, at the right spot, with its initial URL. Just like in Arc. You can mark a Tab as sticky in two ways: - Toolbar icon: click the extension's toolbar icon to toggle sticky for the current tab. - Right-click on the page → Sticky Tabs → Sticky To change the Tab's initial URL: - Right-click on the page → Sticky Tabs → Replace pinned URL with Current Known Limitations: - To persist stickiness when you close/reopen Chrome, quit Chrome (cmd-q) instead of closing the window. Regular window close will also close all tabs, so stickiness of tabs won't persist. - If the sticky tab is the only tab in the window and you close it, the window closes. - Closing and re-opening a tab-group won't preserve stickiness. - If you rename a tab group on another device, it won't be able to restore the sticky state.
