PDF Tab Thumbnails

About

Gives every PDF tab a unique favicon based on the document's first page. Instantly spot the right PDF among your open tabs.

Tired of a wall of identical PDF icons in your tab bar? PDF Tab Thumbnails fixes that.

Every time you open a PDF, the extension automatically renders the first page into a tiny thumbnail and sets it as the tab's favicon. No more guessing which tab is which — just glance at the tab bar.
