  Like Arc-style sticky tabs but for regular chrome tabs. No custom sidebar. Just native chrome tabs.
  
  Keeps a tab in the tab bar (horizontal or vertical) when you close it: in the right tab group, at the right spot, with its initial URL. Just like in Arc.

  Keeps a tab in the tab bar (horizontal or vertical) when you close it: in the right tab group, at the right spot, with its initial URL. Just like in Arc.
  
  You can mark a Tab as sticky in two ways:
  
  - Toolbar icon: click the extension's toolbar icon to toggle sticky for the current tab.
  - Right-click on the page → Sticky Tabs → Sticky
  
  To change the Tab's initial URL:
  
  - Right-click on the page → Sticky Tabs → Replace pinned URL with Current
  
  Known Limitations:
  - To persist stickiness when you close/reopen Chrome, quit Chrome (cmd-q) instead of closing the window. Regular window close will also close all tabs, so stickiness of tabs won't persist.
  - If the sticky tab is the only tab in the window and you close it, the window closes.
  - Closing and re-opening a tab-group won't preserve stickiness.
  - If you rename a tab group on another device, it won't be able to restore the sticky state.
