Sure, it desatured some favicons. It doesn't seem to care what is active though (might be due to Chrome updates since?) and some icons won't desaturate at all (e.g. Google)
Works perfectly for me.
Works on out of focus tabs as advertised but there's a problem at the moment. For me personally the difference is not flagrant enough to warrant installing the extensions though. Maybe if the icons were also lighter? (or more transparent, idk, cause lighter favicons would not work on dark themes) The big issue is that it also desaturates favicons in the bookmarks!
Works most of the time, only problem is when you have tabs of the same icon or similar domain address. I don't know if it's even possible to fix that. The other problem is that is stopped working for my google docs after sometime; so I suppose its best for shorter session. Perhaps it could be because of an extension conflict. Request, can you please make a half saturate mode? Some of my icons must be shown outside of B &W as I do color sensitive work.
Doesn't seem to work whatsoever.
after install, only de-saturated first favicon. will have to fix this because I am a crx developer
