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.
