Facebook Now Displays Notification Count In Browser Tabs

Have you ever noticed how Gmail displays the number of messages you have unread in your inbox within the browser tab? Facebook has begun doing something similar. Facebook will display the combined number of friend requests, inbox messages, and notifications within the browser tab, in order to keep the user up to date on any changes. It’s also a subtle change which ends up driving the user back to the tab.

Facebook is well known for making small changes to the site and this is no different.
