Salesforce Colored Favicons Extension

Supports both Classic and Lightning Experiences and includes separate icons for production, sandbox, and develop/scratch orgs.

To use the extension, simply navigate to a Salesforce org and the extension will automatically select a random color for it then update the favicon with that color. Now every time you visit that org, the colored favicon will be displayed instead of the default Salesforce favicon. At this point you can also visit the options page to change the color for any org you've visited.

Chad Rogers (ID: 000000a6220d2578) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/10/2023 This extension is a great help when having multiple environments open at the same time! I recommend this tool for anyone else using Salesforce.

Anthony Pica (ID: 000000ae18ecda63) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/18/2023 In our quest for digital efficiency, it is sometimes the small details that make a big difference. I'm grateful, then, not just for this extension, but for the reminder of the importance of life's intricate details. Thank you for developing this helpful tool.

Max Wunderlich (ID: 0000004016175d2f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/01/2023 This extension is a lifesaver if you work in multiple SF orgs on a daily basis, including sandboxes of a single org. It's simple, functional, and even actively maintained by the developer. 👍

Katharine Fairchild (ID: 000000674b6795db) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/03/2022 As an admin who is constantly going back and forth between Production and sandboxes for testing, this has been game changing. I've only had this extension a week and already I have seen the benefits during a recent project where I'm jumping between doing some testing in a sandbox, back to Production for regular follow up/management. Simple and super brilliant. It wasn't clear at first how to actually make update the designated colors. I didn't see any clear instructions on the store, either (go to the extension, then click Extension Options, click the color of the org, update and make sure you click SAVE).
