[Feature Request] Change favicon

[Dev0Pher]

Hi,

I just switched from Chrome to Firefox. The extension I had on Chrome modifies the favicon when a tab is suspended.

There are two possibilities to do this:

• Keep the same favicon but put it in gray (reduce opacity)
• Change the favicon with your icon

WDYT? Is it possible to do it?

Hello, @zek0faws ! Yes, it's possible. It's a long waited feature for this webextension. I was not eager to implement this, since for Firefox it has to be done through content scripts injection in tabs, this is the only way to do this and it requires privileged access to all pages. One of the reasons, why I developed Total Suspender was to not require any permissions that may seem suspicious to users, who most likely won't review source code. When firefox team made their own auto-discard feature, I decided to make a standalone webextension for custom discard indication, either by prepending some text to tab's title or by changing the icon. I've just finished the code yesterday, so I'll post a link here. You can use it along with Total Suspender, if you want.

I understand that you do not want to add more permissions on this extension.

I am interested in your sandalone webextension and am curious to see the result.
