HotCakeX Is there any way to change the pinned tab to look just like normal tab in vertical mode? I need to see the title so I know if there's any unread notification on my pinned tab. Thanks.

      gweather they look the same but they behave different. Pinned tabs will automatically open when I launch the browser. And they won't be closed by the close other tabs option. If you have to keep tabs (no pun intended) on multiple tabs then it'll be a hassle to open them again each time.
