Tab Renamer Extension

Tab Renamer is a handy Chrome extension that allows you to rename and change the favicon of your browser tabs for better organization and productivity. With a simple keyboard shortcut, you can open a dialog to customize any tab. This tool is perfect for users who often find themselves with multiple tabs open and need a quick and easy way to identify each one.

Key Features:

- ✏️ Tab Renaming: Open a dialog to rename any tab with a simple keyboard shortcut.
- 🎨 Favicon Customization with Emojis: Choose from a wide range of emojis using the built-in emoji picker to replace each tab's favicon, adding a custom visual element to each tab to make them more distinguishable.
- 🔄 Persistent Names: Your custom tab names and favicons are stored and will be preserved even when you close and reopen the tabs or even the entire window.

Install Tab Renamer to experience a more organized and efficient browsing experience!

Note: I am aware of the issue with emoji rendering on Windows and am actively working on a solution. Thank you for your patience!
