AWS Favicon Update Extension

I like to work with a lot of tabs open. And I mean a lot. But when I'm deep in AWS, all my tabs look the same (except IAM) and it's easy to get lost!

This extension sets the correct favicon for a bunch of AWS services, so it's easier to see at a glance what all your tabs are for. Over 100 favicons are included, with more on the way!

And it doesn't read your browsing history (like some other favicon extensions do).

The code all lives here: https://github.com/JB4GDI/awsfaviconupdater

If this little extension has made your life easier, the tip jar can be found here: https://www.paypal.me/JB4GDI/

Ryo Yamamoto (ID: 00000052aa75a045) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/13/2022 Nice extension, but the favicons are OLD ones. They are different from the ones dispyed in aws console, which is misleading.
