Eric Carlsen (ID: 0000004c1da515a5) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/04/2018 The development/Canary version of chrome is broken with regards to tab notifiers for pinned tabs. This restores the functionality. Unfortunately it really struggles with Twitter, it keeps mangling the underlying icon and pulling in other ones. Not sure how to submit a bug report.

Do Not Use This Account (ID: 000000df945b3c51) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/15/2018 It's a little overzealous, but mostly pretty great. For example, I answer a private message and then go back to the main page of a forum, but I don't need to wait for the forum page to load, so I go to another tab... and when the forum finishes loading, I get a notification. Then I have to click on the tab again just to clear it out so I know if I get another PM.
