Don't Flash Tabs! Extension

It really bugs me how, when you get a message, inactive Facebook and Messenger tab titles start flashing continuously. Super distracting.

So I made a Chrome extension to stop it. The tab title is frozen to the \"John messaged you\" title until the tab becomes active again.

Arvo Muñoz (ID: 000000ca1f2348e7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/26/2019 All my problems solved! I hate the distracting tabs that flash but I quite like to keep the messenger tab open, this way I get the best of both worlds. So glad this came out, it feels like Christmas already and it's only spring!
