Following its day of nonstop downtime coverage , Google is releasing some slightly less negative news this Wednesday: a new Gmail Labs feature that lets you customize the browser title bar.
The option, now available in the Gmail Labs menu , lets you choose to place your inbox count before the word “Gmail” in the browser bar. That way, you can see how many new messages you have at a quick glance on a toolbar or inactive tab.
A handy little feature–though one already familiar to users of Gina Trapani’s Better Gmail Firefox extension , which has offered the option for quite some time.
