Description

Desaturate the favicons of all inactive tabs.

Favicons—originally “favorites icons”—are the small icons that appear next to the page title inside a tab in Google Chrome.

Many companies choose to utilize this icon as a way to show off their logo or brand. As such, they’re often colorful and bold.

In an effort to provide a more minimalist, distraction-free, browsing experience, this extension desaturates the tab icons for all but the active tab.

In other words, all of the background tabs will appear in grayscale (“black and white”). When you switch which tab you’re viewing, the tab you were just viewing will see its icon switch to grayscale, and the new one you’re viewing will go back to full color.

The extension has no settings. There’s nothing to do. Just install it and it’ll start working right away. If you ever want the full color of icons to return, simply uninstall the extension.

Makes it harder for others to spot what tabs you got open ;)

超讚,很好用。 要是也能出一個自動降低書籤列的色彩的插件就好了。 Awesome, very useful. It would be great if there was also a plugin to automatically reduce the color saturation of the bookmark bar.

I like this, but not the way I wanted it to work, reason for adding this is to be able to be aware of the notifications popping up in pinned tabs since I'm deaf so audio doesn't do me any good and I want the notifications to show up in color, not desaturated. Can you do this or at least put that as an option for us? Let me know if you are! Thank you
