Grayscale Favicons

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:
