Feature request, Option to ignore pinned tabs

Use case

I have some services that run as pinned tabs that are always there and have their own shortcuts / don't need regularly accessing such as a pinned WhatsApp web tab, a tab manager & Syncthing webUI. Currently I have have the option to rebind the shortcuts for tabs 4-8 to ctrl+1-4 respectively however this halves the amount of general browsing tabs I can access by shortcut. From my experience most pinned tabs are not used for general browsing and users often already have unique shortcuts for the ones they need this is evidenced by the fact firefoxe's built in ctrl+tab ignores pinned tabs.

Proposed solution

adding an options menu with a toggle button "Ignore pinned tabs" when selected will only count unpinned tabs as tabs 1-8.

or

add option to ignore specific tabs, this could be by position or blacklist by url

Out of curiosity, how are you assigning different shortcuts for pinned tabs?
