“There are a lot of terrific new features in OS X El Capitan. But given how much time I spend reading in Safari, my current favorite is tab pinning,” Dave Mark writes for The Loop.
“To revisit one of the pinned sites, click on its tab. To expand a tab, drag it back to the right,” Mark writes. “Easy peasy.”
“But the real value of tabs doesn’t emerge until you do this: With a few tabs pinned to the left, open a new Safari window,” Mark writes. “Your pinned tabs will be pinned in the new window, too. I find this incredibly useful when I am making my way through my morning site visits.”

MacDailyNews Take: Hmm… Our pinned tabs are not pinned in the new window. Must be something with our Safari prefs, but we can’t replicate Mark’s persistent pinned tabs in new Safari windows. Any ideas?
you should install EL Capitan
then the tab will pinned the left side
if you just update the safari it didn’t work 😊
this is my opinion

Must open new tab from new window, cmd-t. Pinned tabs should appear.
Finally got mine to work. Dragging must terminate in the tab bar near the left edge.
Any ideas? Why, yes, I do have one!

Works well in iOS too!
And I can even open up all of them at the same time in OSX!
Wow. Real huge value. More fluffy crap from the world’s most advanced operating system.
Huh?
isn’t that just the same as using the bookmark bar and renaming the bookmark as a letter?
There are special icons called out for Pinned tabs.
Some sites have them already (Facebook) and if not, they will get the first letter of the site name…
They are very handy – I have 6-8 windows I keep pinned daily and it’s nice as it takes much less space than a normal tab does.
I pinned the Facebook site. And now Facebook links (links that open a new tab) take a long time to create a new tab. It’s behaving like if Safari is loading the whole page in the memory before actually opening it in the new tab.
…and if I unpin Facebook, it opens new tabs instantly.
MDN: You have go to to View>Show Tab Bar for new windows to show tabs with pins
Danny is correct. 👌
We don’t need no stinkin’ tab bars. They clutter up our displays.
Apple says:
• Pin a website: Drag the tab with the website you want to pin to the left side of the tab bar. When the tab shrinks and displays the website’s icon or initial, drop it in place.
• You can also choose Window > Pin Tab, or Control-click/right-click a tab, then choose Pin Tab
Right or control click on the current tab. First choice in the popup menu is Pin Tab. Choose it and you are done.
There’s one SMALL difference but HUGE advantage in the new Safari:
The status bar is now an auto-hide, hovering text instead of a screen-eating bar on the bottom.
Now i can see non-obstructive hyperlinks without installing 3rd party extensions and without reducing my screen size.
