User reviews
Salesforce Colored Favicons is a simple, highly-valued Chrome extension that helps users working with multiple Salesforce orgs avoid confusion by coloring favicons. It is appreciated for improving productivity and preventing errors. However, users report concerns about a recent increase in permissions required, lack of sync across devices causing repeated setup, occasional issues with color application on certain tabs, and limited export options. Overall, it remains a vital tool with requested improvements to syncing, permissions, and customization features.
Pros
- Great for users working with multiple Salesforce orgs, improves productivity by visually distinguishing orgs with colored favicons.
- Simple, effective, and reliable tool with a straightforward purpose; users rely on it daily to avoid mistakes.
- Helps prevent working in the wrong Salesforce environment, especially useful for switching between production and sandboxes.
- Supports multiple instances and orgs, including the new salesforce-setup.com domain.
- Highly appreciated by users, including admins and consultants, for its ease of use and productivity benefits.
Cons
- Lack of cross-machine or cross-browser syncing, causing users to reconfigure on each device.
- Recent permission changes requiring access to read and change data on Salesforce sites raised privacy and security concerns among users.
- Issues with the extension not applying colors correctly on some Salesforce sandbox tabs or changing back to default colors.
- No export/import function to transfer color settings between browsers or machines, inconvenient for users on multiple devices.
- Limited functionality; requests for more features like customizable favicon images or ability to change colors on additional Salesforce-related sites.

Emily Victor, 2025-04-02I really appreciate being able to see that I am in a different instance by color. I just realized that you can click on the color it auto-assigns so you can change it to be something further away from other instances in case you work in 4 or 5 like I do.
This solves a huge problem for me and am so grateful someone on my team showed this to me.

Heather, 2025-03-14I've been using this extension since shortly after it was released, and it's a great example of a tool that identifies a problem (getting your tabs mixed up when you multiple orgs open at once), provides a solution, and does it well. It may not have dozens of features or tons of bells and whistles, but it doesn't need them because it doesn't what it needs to do. Despite its simplicity, it is one of the top 3 or so extensions that I really rely on and would miss if it went away. Pre-Google Sync days, I kept a list of extensions to reinstall whenever I got a new laptop, and this was at the very top of the list. It's still at the top of the list when I supply a list of recommended extensions to new devs.
