It's simple: the new icons are all the same. The old icons are way more recognisable. You can have them back.

@rrhoover Gotcha. I’ll make a Chrome extension which puts the new icons back!

The amount of times I've 'lost' my gmail tab by not recognising the new logo in my ocean of open tabs 🙈

@ejsnowdon yep, I don't even mind the new icons that much, but it's a usability problem!

@ejsnowdon @iranthi_gomes same! I also don't mind the new icons - I just keep losing track of my tabs (maybe I should learn to close some....)

@ejsnowdon @iranthi_gomes maybe we can even improve it! (instead of restore). I could add the option to use even more visible icons. Example: a red circle instead of Gmail.

@ejsnowdon Oh my God YES. I keep losing my gmail & calendar tabs at the moment. Very bad (multicolor) design.

By the way, I intend to improve this extension again! 💪 Is there something you would like in the extension, but isn't there yet?

@claudio_postinghel @diegobuenopm Oh, I had missed it! Thanks so much for the feedback!

@claudio_postinghel Maybe adding our own icons? Instead of restoring the old icons, it would be interesting to tweak the new ones. I _almost_ like them.

@claudio_postinghel @marcio_duarte I found a great designer on Twitter who created a great alternative icon pack! I will offer him a collaboration. Also, you're right, I could allow the user to upload their own icons!
