Can I have Chrome browser open pinned tabs by default?

I’m using Chromebook. I set this up on my previous laptop and for the love of me I can’t figure out how I did it!
Simply, when I open a new tab (+ on top right or Ctrl+T), I would like it to open in pinned mode, or if you want to call it, compact mode.

I open a lot of tabs on multiple windows and I don’t need to see all the text, the icons help me navigate and organize my work better.

Here is the before and after I would like but without having to manually right-click / pin every time I open a new tab.

Looks like this was answered here but the link with the solution is broken now

Thanks in advance
