Gmail Labs adds unread message count icon in browser tabs

Gmail already has an unread message count in its page title, but what if you got too many tabs open to see the title, or you're using Chrome's tiny, favicon-only Pin Tab feature? A new Labs feature called "Unread message icon" takes care of the problem for you by placing your unread count in Gmail's favicon. That way, you'll know your unread count any time you've got a Gmail tab open.

To enable this feature, open your Gmail settings and click the Labs tab. From there, scroll down to "Unread message icon" and check the box to enable it. Unread message icon doesn't work in all browsers, though: you'll have to be using Firefox 2+ or Chrome 6+.
