Shows an unread count over the favicon for sites that support it..
Extracts the number of unread items from a page title and displays it over the favicon.
EG: "Facebook (2)", "(2) Twitter / Home", "Inbox (12) - [email protected]" will all have that count put over the page's icon.
PLEASE NOTE: This extension will only work if the website shows unread items in brackets in the page title.
Inspired by the "unread message icon" lab in Google Mail.
