Pinned tabs automatically loading
Steps to reproduce
- Pin tabs
- Move to another tab or group
- Set "Prevent pinned tabs from unloading" to "Off" in the Sidebery settings
- Restart browser
Actual behavior
Pinned tabs are automatically loaded at startup.
Expected behavior
They shouldn't be, like any other tab. Also I can manually unload them but they don't seem to automatically unload after some time like regular tabs.

Sorry about the late reply. This solves the issue, however the unloaded pinned tabs' appearance is the same as when loaded upon launch. I don't think it has to do with my CSS since they look right once I load, then manually unload them.
Not sure if I should open a new issue about this.
I just ran into the same issue on Win64. Opened some tabs, pinned them, unloaded them manually, and then when closing and re-opening the browser, the pinned tabs automatically are loaded once again.
Using the suggested config hard-fix by asadmash above, I was able to verify that they don't load upon start-up. However as mentioned by OP (cherrynoize) and as quoted below, the appearance of the pinned tab (ex. white text instead of greyed out) is white showing that it looks like it is active, however upon clicking it it opens the tab and loads the site, as if it was actually unloaded.
EDIT: It looks like this is also being talked about in more recent threads as well? #2092

Closing as a dupe of #2092 Workaround for "unloaded pinned tabs not looks like unloaded in Sidebery": https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery/issues/380#issuecomment-1734262392
