User reviews

I never realized how much of a pain right-clicking to pin a tab was until I installed this handy tool. Now all i have to do is click the button and the tab I'm on is pinned. Done. My web experience has improved since cutting down on the number of mouse clicks I have to make. After months of use I can say Pinner is one of my most cherished add-ons ... Anyone who is a chronic tab-pinner should agree. I only gave it 4 stars because the button could be more attractive. UPDATE: Everything I wrote about this prior still holds true. It's a very useful tool to have. However, since I've discovered 'Pinkeys' (which simply pins/unpins tabs using a hotkey) I just had to make the switch. Bye-bye unattractive icon!
