Pixelate: Reduce visual noise with simplified tab icons

Pixelate is a free Chrome extension developed by Marat Dyatko. It falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. The main purpose of Pixelate is to reduce visual noise by simplifying all browser tab icons.

Inspired by the technique used by American portrait painter Chuck Close, Pixelate transforms tab icons into simplified versions. This helps to create a more cohesive and visually pleasing browsing experience. By making all tab icons follow the same style, Pixelate brings a sense of unity to the browser interface.

To enhance the visual impact of Pixelate, it is recommended to use the Minimal White theme available on the Chrome Web Store. This theme complements the simplified tab icons, resulting in a clean and minimalistic look.

As Pixelate is an open-source extension, users are encouraged to suggest or contribute improvements on its GitHub page. This allows for continuous development and refinement of the extension to meet the needs of the users.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
