Shrink Tab in Chrome
The Pin tab feature of the Google Chrome browser reduces page tabs to just the site’s icon which makes it easier to switch between open sites.
To shrink a tab to its icon, right-click on it and choose Pin Tab. This makes room for plenty open tabs but also hides the number of unread messages that is displayed on the full tab of an open Gmail page.
Developers in the Gmail Labs have created a special icon that displays the number of unread messages on the small tab’s Gmail logo.
To turn it on, log to Gmail and click on the Gmail Labs small green beaker icon at the top of the page.
Click on the Enable button next to “Unread Message icon” and click on the Save Changes.
This setting also works in recent versions of Chrome and the Firefox browser.
