About DiscreetTab

DiscreetTab – Hide Tab Titles & Icons for Privacy DiscreetTab is a lightweight, privacy-focused extension that lets you hide tab titles and favicons, making your browsing more discreet in shared or public environments. ✅ What’s New in v1.3 Unified Storage Backend All extension components now use a single storage system (chrome.storage.sync), replacing previous mixed usage with storage.local. This ensures consistent behavior, faster synchronization across devices, and eliminates data desynchronization issues. Optimized DOM Monitoring Replaced the previous 2-second polling loop with a MutationObserver that reacts instantly to title or favicon changes. This improves responsiveness and reduces background CPU usage. New Features & UX Enhancements Discreet List Management in Options You can now view and manage your “discreet list” directly from the options page — control which domains automatically activate discreet mode. Custom Domain Aliases Assign personalized aliases (e.g., “Work”, “Bank”) to specific domains. If not set, DiscreetTab continues using the global titleFormat. Optional Sync Toggle Added a setting to enable or disable synchronization per device. You can keep your discreet settings identical across devices but choose whether the extension is active locally — perfect for users who want portability without always-on behavior.
