Extension summary

  1. Prevents accidental closure: If you try to close a pinned tab, it quickly reopens.
  2. Smart link handling: Clicking links to different domains in pinned tabs opens them in new tabs.
  3. Address bar protection: Entering a new URL in a pinned tab's address bar opens it in a new tab instead.

BPT keeps your tabs bar safe and organized. It works silently in the background, requiring no setup or interaction.

User reviews

This should be the default behavior of Chrome. Good that someone took care of it.

Never have wrote a review but just installed this and it works exactly how I wanted. I like keeping pinned tabs on the same domain and never close is very useful.
