Google Chrome already allows you to do this by right-clicking a tab and clicking "pin tab". It's kind of pointless in its current form, like a awkward hybrid of bookmarks and tabs.
I'd like to see some sort of notification system added to the icons of pinned tabs (like icon badges in Mac OS X) so you could see how many unread items you have in Gmail, Google Reader, etc.
No idea how you'd go about implementing such an idea though.
- robin_reala 16y agoFluid ( http://fluidapp.com/ http://fluidapp.com/ ), a site specific browser, has a system in place for icon badges showing unread numbers, etc., so it must be possible. I’d guess this is Greasemonkey-style site-specific JS code though.
- scott_s 16y agoThank you. I watched the Firefox video and thought "Hey, those app tabs are neat." It's nice to see Chrome has them.
- CoryMathews 16y agoChrome took the pin tab from opera.. (like everything else) However the dev of chrome (not sure if its in stable yet) allows you to have these custom apps already. When you install them they also give the app extra permissions such as display tray notices and geo location. This way the app does not have to ask for them every time.
