Overview
- The rollout is live on Chrome 144 for Android as the browser narrows the gap with desktop tab management.
- Within the tab grid, a long-press on any tab card reveals a “Pin tab” option positioned above “Close tab.”
- Pinned pages move to the front of the grid and the close button is replaced by a pin icon to reduce accidental closes.
- Swipe-to-dismiss is disabled for pinned tabs, providing an extra safeguard against unintended removal.
- A docked carousel keeps pinned items visible when scrolling, showing favicons and titles with smooth Material 3 animations.
