Extension summary

DiscreetTab is a privacy-focused browser extension designed to enhance your browsing privacy by hiding the favicon and the title of the website in the browser tab. This helps to keep your browsing activities more discreet, especially when you have multiple tabs open. Features

Hide Website Title: Double-click on the extension icon to hide the title of the current tab. This replaces the tab's title with an underscore (_), making it difficult for others to see which websites you have open.

Hide Favicon: Double-click on the extension icon again to hide the favicon of the current tab. This changes the tab's icon to a blank icon, further enhancing privacy.

Restore on Refresh: Simply refresh the page to restore the original title and favicon of the tab.

Cool

Not to bad could be better. It would be nice to save the settings per tab and not reset after refresh. And it would be nice to have something other then a _. Maybe numbers like 1,2,3 numbering each open tab or have Tab, Tab (1), Tab (2) or something like that. But pretty cool starting out I guess.
