YouTube Tests Animated Favicon

YouTube Tests Animated Favicon: Sometimes it's nice to know that there's a YouTube video playing in a tab. Maybe you open multiple YouTube music videos, pause all videos except for one, then load your favorite news site and you start wondering which tab corresponds to the video that's currently playing.

YouTube tests a new favicon that shows an animation while the video is playing. Some people may find it distracting, so it will be interesting to see if YouTube will add this feature.

Here's a video that shows YouTube's experimental feature in action:

It's not the only favicon of a Google service that shows useful information: Gmail and Google Calendar already have enhanced favicons (the Gmail favicon that shows the number of unread messages is still a Gmail Labs feature).
