It used to be that you couldnt SOMETHING-w to close a pinned tab. If you did that, it would just gray out and when you clicked on it, it reopened in at the same location.
Now, it has to stay open, you can close w/o taking extra actions and it is always using memory for the full page.
I tell you all of this so hopefully you can imagine how much better it used to be and I can add you to the campaign to get the old behavior back.
- ydant 16y agoFor a while there the persistent-but-closed state of pinned tabs was coming in and out randomly for me (based on updates on whichever repository I was on). I agree, the old behavior of having a dual-state pinned tab was VERY nice. I pretty much always have three pinned tabs now (GMail, GMail, GReader), but it used to be a few more. Now if I close GReader, which I do if I'm focusing down on working and know I won't be hitting it, it disappears - instead of that little placeholder. I've been hoping re-enabling that behavior it was an option I just missed somewhere. I guess not.
