Notifycon - Pinned Tab Notification Counter Chrome Extension

Notifycon is a Chrome extension that serves as a solution for those who utilize pinned tabs frequently. Pinned tabs are exceptionally useful but can be inconvenient when it comes to visibility of the count of notifications due to the hidden document title. Notifycon solves this by displaying the notification count on the favicon, providing constant visibility and boosting user productivity. More features are being added to improve the utility of this extension further. Feedback is always welcome for the growth of Notifycon's user-friendly attributes.

Does it's job. Comes in handy to make sure I'm not missing important emails in both my work and personal email tabs. I started using this extension years ago but it stopped working consistently. Uninstalled, but missed it, seems to be working upon my reinstall. We'll see if that lasts.

Working, but would be great if add some style options. Thanks

Does just what it says. I'd love if it could do a little more, but it gets the full five anyway for doing what it says it will, and quite well.
