How to Fix Unread Favicon in GMail for Chrome

  • Ensure Labs => Unread Message Icon feature enabled
  • Install "TamperMonkey" chrome plugin
  • Add the javascript included in this gist (fix_gmail_unread_favicon.js)

Thanks to Bertrand Schneider for the code snippet and fix.

Why did the favicon break?

git checkout develop # all developer work is off of this branch
git pull --rebase # make sure local develop is up-to-date (can this be git rebase?)
git checkout -b my-nifty-feature-559876 # create your feature branch; I like to put Pivotal story ID in it for convenience; not required
# do your work, make sure all tests still pass, etc. COMMIT FREQUENTLY
git commit -m "First part of my nifty feature working; now on to the back-end."
# fetch latest remote develop and rebase your local feature branch on this.
git fetch
git rebase origin/develop
# Local feature branch now has latest origin/develop code as base
