I sometimes accidentally drag tabs rather than click them (touchpad sucks). I already have an extension that prevents them opening as separate windows. But recently new interesting things started happening: Sometimes they "group" together, I have no idea what the point of it is or how to undo that. Just now one of my tabs turned into a mini icon version???

Pinning keeps it perpetually on screen no matter where in the tab bar you are scrolled. Useful if you have a tab you always need and also many other tabs open.

I'm not sure about pinning but for tab grouping you are grabbing and holding a tab directly over another tab.

Lol okay, this isn't easy to do because the tab underneath moves out of the way like 90% of the time. I cannot figure out why it doesn't sometimes. I also just now somehow managed to create a tab group with just one tab. The tab group dialog popped up when I just released the tab without any other tab underneath. Also the opposite: I dragged the tab onto another tab, there was a blue highlight indicator and everything, I let go, but it just moved the tab anyway without grouping it. That's some serious jank.
