Works as expected. At first, I thought it was broken because I would quit the chrome app (with my pinned apps still opened), and when I re-opened, the first tab would open twice. I now realize that chrome by defaults re-opens the first pinned tab that was left opened. So chrome would re-open this first pinned tab while the extension would also prompt a new pinned tab to open to this exact same webpage since I configured it within the extension. So to avoid this, I just omit whatever the URL of the first pinned tab is from the extension.

Not working :( very sad

This issue has annoyed me with Chrome for so long. I have 6 pinned tabs that mostly work okay when starting up but heaven forbid you have another browser window open, all the pins are just gone. Google should call its feature sticky note tabs that fall off for really no reason, instead of pinned...I use Safari for most things but on Windows, I use Chrome, mainly for the password manager. This extension is perfect. Simple, does what it say and solves a simple but extremely annoying problem Chrome should have fixed years ago.
