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 v1.2:
Hide Title and Favicon
Activate discreet mode by clicking the extension icon or using the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+S. The tab title is replaced with a customizable format, and the favicon is either removed or replaced.
Per-Domain Memory & Sync
Discreet mode stays active per domain even after refreshing or reopening the tab. All settings and discreet domains are synced across your devices via Chrome Sync.
Customizable Title Format
Set the title format using {n} in the options (e.g., Tab {n}, [n], etc.).
Auto-Discreet Mode
Automatically activate discreet mode for every new tab.
Custom Favicon
Choose a custom favicon via URL, or use the default transparent one.
Temporary Mode
Enable discreet mode for a limited time: the tab will restore itself after the set duration.
Keyboard Shortcut
Use Ctrl+Shift+S to toggle discreet mode on the current tab.
Efficient Numbering Management
Tabs are numbered per domain, and unused numbers are recycled.
No Login, No Data Collection
Everything is local and private. No telemetry, no tracking.

- (2025-06-13) griffin: suggested improvements: support for sleeping tabs, including for extensions such as autotabdiscard. remembering discreeterised tabs across sessions and domains, possibly by saving to the currently signed in google account. complete blocking of favicon.ico from ever being cached on a tab that has been discreeterised across that particular tab's entire session, with optionally defaulting to being discreeterised on new tab. removal of default favicon.ico so it only shows title or _ text on each tab. love the extension, as someone that constantly has several tabs and sessions operating at any one time, and appreciate efficient coding. do you accept donations?

- (2024-08-05) Dawn Brockman: Not to bad could be better. It would be nice to save the settings per tab and not reset after refresh. And it would be nice to have something other then a _. Maybe numbers like 1,2,3 numbering each open tab or have Tab, Tab (1), Tab (2) or something like that. But pretty cool starting out I guess.
