How to Make a Tab Hidden in Chrome
Chrome is Google's web browser, based on the open-source WebKit. As you browse the web, it's easy to rack up a dozen open tabs. All these open tabs can become a bit hard to manage, taking up toolbar space and getting lost in the mix. Chrome does not allow you to hide a tab completely, but you can pin the tab to the toolbar. What this does is hide the tab's title bar, leaving only the favicon. This frees up space and keeps the tab in a persistent location.
