Development favicon Extension

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.

Benjamin Knight (ID: 0000007067735a5f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/23/2022 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.
