Extension summary

This extension lets you target URLs and titles with a regex match pattern (so .*\.local.* for my local environment) and apply effects to the favicon. I've got my local with a green stripe across the top, the staging server with a yellow one, and could set different production environments with different colors and effects.

Another idea would be to match and apply effects for different signed-in Google accounts, so I'd know which Google Drive is open.

User reviews

Great idea, works perfectly.

When using the cover effect, it applies the cover over and over again each time the page is refreshed until the favicon becomes a solid square color, which isn't very helpful.
