About LMAA - Leave me absolutely alone

I was super annoyed that several websites (Looking at you Slack/Linkedin) are trying to drag me back into their page by making the tab bar light up like Snoop Dogg on 4/20 .And don't get me started on these intercom "we miss you" messages. LMAA pins the browser favicon and title to the initial values when you first opened that page, persisting the state in local storage. Give it a go and remove this little annoyance from your live For all the Germans out there: Yes, the LMAA acronym was chosen on purpose ;)
