gmailtitle.user.js previously just displayed your unread message count in the front of the title, so when the tab titles were truncated one could at least see this count. Now, it allows you to achieve a fake zero inbox. That is, I want the unread message count in the title to show the number of messages I intend to read immediately, not those that are archived and want to remain unread. So, by setting a localStorage value on this page, you can delare a fudge factor of the number of messages that are unread and should not be included in the number in the title. For example, I have 1699 unread messages I want to ignore:



So, I do the following to ignore these messages:

And now I have a fake zero inbox:
