Extension summary

It really bugs me how, when you get a message, inactive Facebook and Messenger tab titles start flashing continuously. Super distracting.

So I made a Chrome extension to stop it. The tab title is frozen to the "John messaged you" title until the tab becomes active again.

All my problems solved! I hate the distracting tabs that flash but I quite like to keep the messenger tab open, this way I get the best of both worlds. So glad this came out, it feels like Christmas already and it's only spring!
