“Pin Tab” A Simple and Useful Google Chrome Tip
Google Chrome Pin Tab
Today, I am going to share small, and simply Google Chrome tip, which is really useful if you have many tabs open at the same time.
Using Google Chrome on Android? I’ve got Some Tips for You!
Update: This feature even got better recently – Find out more Here
Named “Pin Tab”, this feature lets you reduce the width of each tab, by showing only the favoicon of the page, and not the page name. I will explain this in detail.
{ check out another simple but really useful Google Chrome Tip here }
Before we start, let me tell you what a favicon is, it is a small ( really small ) icon that will be shown next to the website’s name or webpage’s title, on each browser tab. ( provided, the website has its own favicon. ). For example, if you look at the tab of chromestory.com now, the default favicon is show, which is a small image of a traditional paper sheet.
Pin Tab, when enabled, will show only this favoicon image, and not the title of the page, and that will reduce the width of the tab, in to less than 1 Cm.
To enable this feature, all you need to do is, right click on the tab and select “Pin Tab” from the bottom. Since you can enable or disable this feature for individual tabs, you can actually pin some regularly used tabs like your email, and save some space.
Cool Uh ?

I have the dev build and used to have “Pin Tab” on the menu, but that’s now gone. Too bad. I did use it.
@Leisureguy Ah, glad it’s not just me then, I’m on the Dev channel too and just noticed it had gone… odd, hope they add it back.
