Reviews & Comments of Save Pinned Tabs chrome extension

Life saver. Thanks!

Mac Monterey 12.4 user. Icon appears and disappears immediately. Tabs are not saved.

Works better than other extensions meant to do the same, but continues to duplicate tabs, which is frustrating. Looks like other have complained of the same issue and there has yet to been any attention focused on fixing it which is too bad.

I have been enjoying this extension but with a recent Chrome update, the rightmost pinned tab has suddenly begun opening as a full-sized tab, so I have to open the extension menu and press Load on my autoload tab set. If this could be fixed, the extension would be 5 stars again easily.

Very helpful, works smoothly.

It doesn't work

This extension is a real lifesaver. I can't count the number of times this has saved me when I've needed to reload my pinned tabs with this tool. Excellent!

I have been using this extension on multiple browsers and on different operating systems, and there's one truth I can absolutely state as fact..., it works as advertised. For people getting multiple copies of the tabs on opening a new window, just work through the issue referring to the help page of the extension if needed, or by searching the web. This is one of my essential must have extension across all the platforms I used and have tested this to work on! If you have a question, the developer is happy to hear feedback.

great app...thanks!

that is not what I wanted, I don´t want to go into something and then save, I have bookmark for this I just want to see the taps and click on it: pin and save, same with tab groups.. why is it so hard to find/do?

Was great, but stopped working a couple days ago on chrome/mac - Update: Support was very quick and fixed the issue - Love it!

great little tool that just does what it needs to do. Saves me so many hours for opening the pages.

I have been using this for years but recently the pinned tab is being duplicated multiple times.

Works smoothly as advertised. RECOMMENDATION: Include a button for "UNload" or similar to remove the pin set if desired. Otherwise, once they are launched, if you want them out of the way, you have to start a fresh window or unpin and close each pin in the group individually to get them out of window. A quick button in the extension to load/unload would be great!

Simple and useful.

Brilliant, I use it all the time. Excellent for being able to load different pins for different desktops (home/uni)

Bottom line: SPT = increased productivity. Read on if you want some examples and use cases. For example, when doing research, I have a preset collection of websites for each type of project I work on. However, having to load the websites each time, then pin them to give me room on the title bar, takes a little bit of time. It is a repetitive task that wastes time and creates friction. SPT solves that problem. It saves time and reduces friction immediately. I have created 10 different presets of websites saved into 10 SPT files. The number of websites in an SPT file range from a low of 5 for one type of project to a high of 19 for another. Yes, many extensions save groups of tabs. But upon activation, they just open up all of the tabs as regular tabs. You have tabs extending from left to right (and beyond) across the top. Yes, you can use the scroll bar to go back and forth, but that is time consuming and it is easy to "get lost." Therefore, I need to pin all of the tabs to give me the real estate I need for adding additional websites as I go down rabbit holes while doing project research. In other words, none of the extensions I found before now opened up a collection of website tabs AND pinned them. SPT opens multiple websites (in the order you put them into their respective SPT file) and simultaneously PINS them. By putting a little thinking into creating the SPT file, i.e., the websites you need and the order you want them to open up in Chrome, you'll have a tool adding much needed time back to your busy day. (This step is essential because you can't edit an SPT file yet.) One of the complaints I noticed from early reviewers was the "doubling up" of tabs when Chrome opened again. That problem has been solved with the button, "Autoload." Make sure it is unchecked, and you won't get the doubling up. Also, be aware that if you have a Chrome window open with a set of tabs & you choose another SPT file, it overwrites the collection of tabs you currently have. That's a big OOPS! Here is how to solve that - open another Chrome browser in a new window. Next, choose the new file in SPT you would like to open. Once two windows are open (or 3, or 4, etc.), you can easily drag/drop tabs across Chrome windows to create new groupings of websites for whatever project you are working on. Final thought at the moment - another powerful way I've found to use SPT and manage my workflow is to use SPT in conjunction with Windows' ability to create virtual desktops. Here is an example of how that helps - For one project, I have all of my tabs from one SPT file open on my first desktop "real" monitor. The second project is on my 2nd "real" monitor in another Chrome window. Projects 3, 4, and 5 are on my virtual desktops (Windows key + Tab). And, now you can name the virtual desktops too! That helps in knowing which Window has what on it. And that's how SPT = increased productivity. A BIG thank you to the developer of this extension. FEATURE REQUEST - in a future edition, please provide the functionality for renaming a file. Then, if possible, the ability to edit a set of websites within the file. PS: If my feature request is already available, someone please share how to do that in replies.

Really like this extension. My only gripe is that after a while the "save" button disappears for the specific pinned tab set. This can be found if one day you decide to update your set with new tabs or removing old ones. You have to delete the existing set and then re-save a new one so it retains the "save" button.

Best Pinned Tab extension! I tried so many tab extensions (Forever pinned, Real Pinned Tabs, etc), and this is the most reliable and most logically designed. Thank you!

This is an excellent extension and useful extension that I get a lot of use out of. It just works. That said, I would love some new quality of life features. I would like the titles to not be limited to only 30 characters. Unlock it and add word wrapping if you have to. I saved a number of pinned tabs and I have to come up with creative titles and abbreviations just to organize them and being able to tell what pinned tabs I'm opening. Also, being able to edit the title and to also be able to manually add or remove pinned tabs would be nice feature as well. For now, my only method is to delete current save and then create a new one. Adding these features would make this app a whole lot better and would change my rating to 5 stars.

Exactly what I wanted and none of what I don't need!

Tried another, didn't work. Came to this one and it worked great. Thank you!

Works as advertised. Well done.

Lovely, works perfectly.

4 stars. Works mostly as described well enough for my use. Wish the AutoLoad feature was working but not a deal breaker.

Great little tool, nice to be able to close what's there and open a different set of tabs.

I always had a problem with my tabs disappearing if I opened Chrome from an external link. No longer with this extension. One more computer annoyance out the window. Thanks you for this useful extension that just works!

Fantastic! I spent 2 hours (how to solve a problem that necessary isn't an issue or bug, depending upon how one's brain is wired) to search forum among others debating whether the pinned feature (how it works currently) in chrome is a bug or by design. As pinned tabs works today in version 76.0.3809.100 from a programmers view, it's by design. From a user perspective, it's a bug. I prefer to avoid chrome extensions for a variety of reasons but this one does TOTALLY what I mean Chrome would do "by design". --Cheers!

I should have looked for this sooner, this rocks!

Simply amazing! Anywhere I can donate? I use it mainly for having one set of tabs pinned for work and one for home.

Love it. I use it many times daily! It's like having all my critical websites bunched in to one, easy to click, launch button. It would be even more awesome, if we were able to directly edit the saved urls instead of manually getting the pinned tabs 'just right' then resaving the pin set.

I'm looking for an extension that opens pinned tabs when a new window is opened. This extension doesn't do that. Too bad, as I liked the idea of saving sets of tabs.

Just what I needed! I hate when I click a link from an external program which opens in Chrome, but my pinned tabs are gone and I have to recreate them. This extension solves that. Perfect!

Does what it says and +1 for the idea of grouping sets of pinned tabs :-)

I've been using this for a long time, seamlessly, I decided to come write a review :)

Does what it says on the tin

Works smooth! Thanks)

Can we add option to load on top of currently opened pinned tabs? so we add on. e.g. i load up my personal organizer google calendar email etc. then i want to add on a messaging group. etc. currently it loads and replaces the previous group.

Great extension. Such a great idea to have different categories of pinned tabs. two feature requests though: 1. Load pins on new window. 2. preload icons. I hate starting chrome and seeing 5 tabs with loading signs, it's so ugly! Especially on a slow connection, I don't care if the page has loaded yet, I just want the icon. thanks

Autoload not working, bummer

Having issues with it doubling up on pins every time a popup window appears...

Great extension! Would be cool if we could enable it to load saved tabs only on initial load (first window) instead of every new window as well.

Simple and does what it's supposed to.

Really nicely designed, works exactly as described!

Saving sets and reloading works well. The Autoload button is checked on a set, but a new browser window doesn't load anything for me.

Lovely little tool, just what was needed. Great way to switch between pinned groups and recover pins after a Chrome crash

Just what I needed! You pin the tabs you want to keep and then just save them from the extension options. You can also have different groups of pinned tabs saved as different profile names and load as needed. Thanks!

Exactly what I was looking for and easy to use. Great extension!

Didn't solve the exact problem I was searching for, but provided something different but great. I love being able to save tab sets.

Works perfectly!

It's uh-maazingg!
