## Description

Pinned Gmail makes it quicker to access your email by opening Gmail in a pinned tab or switching to it if it’s already open.

With one click, it finds any existing Gmail tab and brings it into focus. If none are open, it creates a new pinned tab so Gmail is always ready when you need it.

It’s designed to reduce tab clutter and make switching between Gmail accounts smoother and faster.

This extension does not collect or send any user data.
