Browser extension that reloads tracking pages every 5 minutes and changes the favicon and title to indicate current delivery status. Makes it possible to visually grep delivery status while using other browser tabs (see screenshots).
Currently works with US versions of FedEx, LaserShip, UPS, and USPS tracking pages.
NOTE: This extension will also send a notification upon delivery. You will be asked for permission to reveive notifications on your first visit to each tracking site after installing/enabling this extension. It will appear as if you're being asked for permission to receive notfications from the source website (e.g. tools.usps.com) but it is for this extension. If you choose to ignore or decline notification permission, the extension will otherwise function normally.
