## Description

AutoPinTab is a Chrome extension designed to automatically pin newly opened tabs based on URLs you specify. Users define patterns—either exact URLs or JavaScript regex expressions—that determine which tabs get pinned upon opening. Patterns can be set via the extension's options page or quickly configured by right-clicking on a tab and selecting the AutoPinTab menu option. This tool helps keep important tabs organized and accessible without manual pinning. The extension's source code is openly available on GitHub for transparency and customization.
