Chrome is Google’s flagship product, which receives frequent updates to improve the overall usability experience. This time around, Chrome for Android is gaining support for pinned tabs. This feature, which is borrowed from the desktop browser, makes it easier to keep important pages active. This is handy if you want to keep a tab up and resume from where you left off.
Chrome for Android gets the ability to pin tabs
Chrome’s pinned tab on the desktop is easily the most used feature. It allows users to keep a tab active and separated of sorts from the rest of their active browsing. This is now coming to Android, and will “keep important pages saved and ready.” As phones have become our gateway to the world of the web, pinning tabs can be helpful to jump back in.
Pinned tabs will appear at the top of the tab list. You can pin any tab by long-pressing on it and selecting “Pin tab” from the pop-up menu. When you pin a tab, it appears in a smaller menu at the top of the app while scrolling through the rest of your tabs.

Whether it’s your daily reads or vacation research, keep important pages saved and ready for you to jump back in, just like on your desktop. Pinned pages stay saved at the front of your browser, letting you pick up right where you left off ,” said Google in a blog post .
Besides this, the Chrome browser for desktop recently gained vertical tabs support . This stacks up all your tabs in the sidebar on the left. However, it is only available in the Canary build at the moment.
