Extension summary

This is a privacy enhancement tool that allows the user to edit the title and icon displayed on the current tab. It is useful when you switch tabs and you don't want others to know what is on the other tab by reading the tab title or by looking at the tab icon. Note that the chrome web store and other related websites like the chrome developer dashboard and new tab page of chrome blocks extensions from making changes to the page.

User reviews

The title and favicon change back to the original values on page refresh. Is that the intended process?
