User Reviews
Pros
- Saves and restores pinned tabs across sessions and crashes, saving time and effort.
- Supports multiple tab groups/contexts (e.g., work, home, social) and works across monitors.
- Simple, lightweight, and straightforward to use with no ads or heavy permissions.
- Works across multiple browsers/operating systems, aiding consistency across environments.
- Widely regarded as a lifesaver for recovering essential pins and workflows.
Cons
- Autoload is inconsistent and does not always load pinned tabs on startup.
- Occasional tab duplication when loading/restoring groups.
- Lacks keyboard shortcuts to pin/unpin groups or automate loading of groups.
- Cross-device sync/save between devices is missing or not reliably implemented.
- Sporadic UI issues like the Save button not responding or reliability regressions after updates.

This is an absolutely fantastic extension when it works!! However, it only autoloads the pinned tabs about 25% of the time. Would be great if it was consistent 100% of the time.

Is Save Pinned Tabs Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Save Pinned Tabs requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
