wtf is chrome-flavoured-favicon?

chrome-flavoured-favicon is a browser extension that recolors the little icons on your browser tabs based on which website they belong to. If you keep many tabs open at once, this makes it easier to tell them apart at a glance. When you open a website, the extension looks at the web address and assigns it a specific color. It then applies that color to the site's favicon, which is the small image normally displayed on the tab. Instead of seeing a row of tiny, multi-colored logos, you see a consistent set of color-coded blocks that help you quickly spot the tab you need. This tool is useful for people who regularly work with dozens of tabs open, such as researchers comparing different sources, project managers checking various dashboards, or developers monitoring multiple environments. For example, all tabs from your company's internal tools could show up in one color, while tabs from a specific client's site appear in another, saving you from scanning small text to find the right tab. The project is built with TypeScript, which is a way of writing JavaScript code that helps catch errors early. The README does not go into further detail about how the color rules are configured or whether you can customize the color assignments yourself, so it is unclear how much control users have over the final look.
