Different behavior in Firefox v. Chrome. In FF when in locked tab when I mistakenly click a link from the bookmarks bar the link opens in a new tab (the behavior I want to have with the locked tab). In Chrome it will open the bookmark link in the locked tab which annoys me to no end, since the FF behavior is why I wanted a tab locking extension in the first place. At the moment I'm using both browsers almost equally while I decide which browser to stick with in future and would like locked tabs to act the same in both. Any way you can fix this with an update?

Very interesting extension who resolve some problem BUT the loc/pin statue is reset when we stop and restart the browser. In my case I setup it to restart with previous page but the loc disappear on reboot.

Not bad. There is an issue. "In-line links" option also try to open in new background tab any button (which is probably unwanted). I know the extension is old, but maybe anyone managed to fix it ;)

It doesn't work when clicking on the names on YouTube. Always opens on the same page. It's close, but no cigar. Would appreciate updates to handle these issues. I want to be able to click on any link without wiping out the 300 word post I'm almost finished with.

Does exactly what it should. Unfortunately when chrome is closed or page in tab is reloaded (what is exactly what happens when chrome is reopened), the lock is released and I have to lock every pinned tab again! What use would I have of pinned tabs when the sites cannot be refreshed??
