zh 超讚,很好用。 要是也能出一個自動降低書籤列的色彩的插件就好了。 Awesome, very useful. It would be great if there was also a plugin to automatically reduce the color saturation of the bookmark bar.

I like this, but not the way I wanted it to work, reason for adding this is to be able to be aware of the notifications popping up in pinned tabs since I'm deaf so audio doesn't do me any good and I want the notifications to show up in color, not desaturated. Can you do this or at least put that as an option for us? Let me know if you are! Thank you

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)

After 5 years of using an LG OLED as my PC monitor, I had the tab logos burnt into the panel. Now I switched to a brand new model and searched for something to keep this from happening again, so this extension is a real life saver for my and my OLED. Thanks alot!
