Never mistake your work email for your personal again!
What is Gmail™ Favicon Customizer?

Using Gmail for work email and personal email?? Running both of these in the same Chrome session can get really confusing, especially if you are switching back and forth all day.

Run this and the Gmail icon for your work email will become blue. It will detect whether the chrome tab is running Gmail for work and change the gmail favicon (icon in the tab) to a blue icon.

Does not work

Works a treat after installing and reloading. Only minor issue is that it doesn't work if the Advanced Option for showing unread message count in the icon is enabled but that's an understandable limitation. Would be great if that could be solved but otherwise a solid solution to a problem Google should really implement themselves!

Good app but... need to add more customization/colors choice for people who work with more than one company mails (1 personal, 2 or more professionals)
