Pretty much! IMO Safari is the only browser that gets Pinned Tabs right.
In Safari, when you pin a tab, it's available in all your browser windows, and cannot be closed (if you do close it, it comes right back). To remove them, you have to manually unpin the tab.
There's also only ever one "instance" of the tab taking up resources, no matter how many windows you have open, even if that tab is selected (the other windows open to that tab darken). Also, if you manually navigate in another tab to the URL of one of your pinned tabs, it switches to the pinned tab.
Also, if you have a pinned tab selected and type in a new url, it will open a new tab instead of changing your pinned tab.
Compared to Chrome / Edge, where a pinned tab:
- is only available in the window you pin it in
- closes with the keyboard shortcut to "close all tabs"
I've never found any use to that implementation. In those browsers it's more like "make this tab small and place it to the left"
