Dictation tab opens pinned

Hi,

Not sure if this happens to anyone else, but every time I start using Voice In, the tab that it uses always opens pinned and to the far left of my toolbar. I want it to open as a normal tab, as I want to keep my pinned tabs in order from left to right.

I’ve gone as far as I can with the browser “Settings - On Startup” options, and I still can’t get the tab to open in a non-pinned state.

(Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS Noble and Chrome 151.0.7922.137 (Official Build) (x86_64))

Edit: another way to solve my problem would be to disable the “close after one minute of no activity” on the pop-up tab, so that it can stay in place all the time as an unpinned tab.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, we will want to keep the tab pinned - that is the standard design pattern now used across extensions.
However, we can add an option to not close that tab, so it remains in place. Does this work for you?

I have added this as a feature request. We should have it out in the next two weeks.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me, yes that would indeed be a help. If the pinned tab could stay permanently open, it could then be moved to the far right of my pinned tabs and stay there, that will make all the rest of the tabs stay where they are and be perfect. :slightly_smiling_face:
