Extension summary
Extracts the number of unread items from a page title and displays it over the favicon.
EG: "Facebook (2)", "(2) Twitter / Home", "Inbox (12) - [email protected]" will all have that count put over the page's icon.
PLEASE NOTE: This extension will only work if the website shows unread items in brackets in the page title.
Inspired by the "Unread message icon" lab in Google Mail.
Recent Updates
1.1.7 • Changed the priority of the Unread Count icon so it can't be overridden by the page's original icon.
1.1.6 • Fixed a bunch of deprecated method use preventing Unread Count working.
