I want to make sure that all the tabs that I've pinned will stay pinned at the correct page. In Google Chrome, is it possible to prevent the URL of a pinned tab from being changed (so that clicking on any link from a pinned tab will open the link in a new window, instead of changing the pinned tab's URL)? I sometimes navigate to other pages from pinned tabs, thus losing the tab that was supposed to be pinned.

If you simply wish to restore pinned tabs when starting up Chrome, simply add the parameter --pinned-tab-count=5 or any number you prefer. Further details from this article.
If you want to always restore a set of tabs to specific URLs that does not change, a better option is to bookmark that set of tabs. Right-click on any of the tabs, and click on Bookmark all tabs. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + D. Restoring the tabs is as easy as right-clicking on the bookmark folder and selecting Open all bookmarks.
Another alternative for you to save your browsing session is to use an extension such as Session Buddy, where you can edit individual tabs for your session.

Also, you can use the Open PinnedTab Link extension to ensure that links from pinned tabs will always open in a new window. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/open-pinnedtab-link/lpjfkobpnfgddkikflgejdgclhpmagha

I tried that but it was too cluttered. I made one in a few lines: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sticky-pinned-tabs/mjlgfnggkljhiipiiogoengknkfocbkp
– fregante – 2016-06-24T17:52:52.947It appears that this Chrome extension is designed to make links from pinned tabs open in a new window: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/open-pinnedtab-link/lpjfkobpnfgddkikflgejdgclhpmagha However, I still haven't found a way to make typed URLS open in a new window from pinned tabs.

– Anderson Green – 2012-12-13T02:53:43.980The Google Chrome extension that I posted above is the best solution that I've found so far: it works reasonably well. – Anderson Green – 2012-12-27T19:37:17.810
