What's new in 1.7.3b
In this release, more stability and performance improvements have been made.

Pinned tabs AND normal tabs will now scroll together in order to increase visibility

Better and more consistent workspace transition for touchpad users

New tab animation is now smoother
Increase tab unloader timeout from 20 to 40 minutes
Compact mode doesn't animate if the mouse is already on the sidebar

If the newtab button is at the top, new tabs will be inserted at the top as well
