## Description

DiscreetTab is a privacy-focused browser extension designed to enhance your browsing privacy by hiding the favicon and the title of the website in the browser tab. This helps to keep your browsing activities more discreet, especially when you have multiple tabs open.
Features

    Hide Website Title: Double-click on the extension icon to hide the title of the current tab. This replaces the tab's title with an underscore (_), making it difficult for others to see which websites you have open.

    Hide Favicon: Double-click on the extension icon again to hide the favicon of the current tab. This changes the tab's icon to a blank icon, further enhancing privacy.

    Restore on Refresh: Simply refresh the page to restore the original title and favicon of the tab.

Example Use Cases

    Workplace Privacy: If you are working in an open office environment or a shared workspace, DiscreetTab helps you keep your browsing activities private from colleagues or supervisors who might glance at your screen.

    Public Spaces: When browsing the internet in public places like cafes or libraries, DiscreetTab ensures that no one can easily see the websites you have open, providing an added layer of security.

    Presentations and Meetings: During presentations or meetings, you can use DiscreetTab to quickly hide sensitive or personal tabs without closing them, ensuring a clean and professional appearance on your screen.
