Features & Capabilities

Pinned GMail Chrome Extension

Pinned GMail enhances your browsing by allowing quick access to your pinned GMail tab. If this tab doesn't exist, the extension automatically creates it for you, ensuring your inbox is always just one click away. Additionally, it alerts you to any unread emails, keeping you up to date without needing to manually check your mailbox.

The extension includes a configurable keyboard shortcut (default: Alt + Shift + M) for even faster navigation. Clicking the button or using the shortcut toggles between opening or activating the pinned GMail tab and returning to your previous tab, streamlining your workflow. Originally known as "GMail Panel," this new version adapts to the WebExtensions framework to maintain essential functionality like persistent pinned tabs and efficient email notifications.

User Reviews

User reviews largely praise Pinned Gmail as a handy, easy-to-use tool that integrates Gmail into the browser and helps with daily tasks. Many say it works well and improves productivity. However, several recurring issues dilute the experience: high CPU usage; notifications problems (no notifications, stuck email count, and post-update popups even when notifications are off); and a tendency to require frequent sign-ins. Despite these cons, the addon remains popular for Gmail work, with users requesting improvements like tab options and broader site support.

Is Pinned GMail 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.

Pinned GMail requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
