what is the icon on the far right that looks like a circle and has a small number that changes depending on the website page? in the bottom right edge of
I am wondering what this thing is. It is an icon located on the far right of the page next to the search toolbar. It is shaped like a circle with a number on the bottom right edge. The number changes depending on which tab I have opened. An empty tab has no number. This page results in a 1. I have another page open which results in a 4. The number shows white in a small orange box. The circle is outlined with a thick black line. What does this icon indicate?
Thank you.
John

Hi John, I'm guessing that icon is created and updated by an extension. I'm not sure which one, though. Maybe something that is tracking the trackers, like Lightbeam? Have you tried hovering your mouse over the icon to see whether a tooltip appears, or clicking it?

Ah, that's it. It is from my Avast virus protection. It is listed on my add-ons, and it is telling me how many companies have tried to track. Mystery solved.
Thank you
