Set Chrome’s browser tab icons to grayscale (“black-and-white”).
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.
I offer a similar extension that desaturates all but the current “active tab” for each Chrome window. That app is called “Desaturate Favicons” and can be found here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/desaturate-favicons/dkenplobjcbiljmfbgpbpaboipfgpcbm
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.
