    We aren't saying the rule is not at least a bit stupid, but it's still a rule.

Never miss a message while multitasking again. This very simple script adds a dynamic red notification badge to your Torn browser tab icon whenever you have unread chats.

 

Features:

  • Real-time Count: Shows the exact number of unread messages directly on the tab icon.
  • Background Active: Uses a lightweight worker to keep checking even when the tab is inactive/hidden.
  • Title Preserving: Updates the page title (e.g., (2) Gym) without breaking the page name.

 

How does it look?:

 

PC Only: Automatically disables itself on Torn PDA to prevent mobile issues.

Is it? I do not read rules everyday but it's so of course I'll remove it, I just wonder how would that violate any rule. It's not showing that on every page, you need to have torn open and it shows you that only on torn tab. Do you know anybody from the dev team so I can ask them to give the opinion on that? :)

ok, I don't think this rule makes sense, since popup on the bottom of the game draws attention as well, and this is only chat we're talking about, not crime or anything...

Sorry but thinking a bit more I need to argue on that, you can have scripts (that 99% use because to see stats of other people they need to have it installed as well) with outside database that shows who you should attack and you say bringing chat icon on browser is violation? It's pure quality of life improvement.

 

Feel free to report if you think it violates the rules, I'm happy to talk with devs. But first ban 99% of more problematic scripts and 99% of users paying for that game.

It's a stupid rule that's now being "enforced" site-wide because people intentionally misread the existing rules to excuse their obviously illegal mug bots.

 

Quotes on enforced since you could listen to chat in untraceable ways, so there's literally no way to know how many people use something like this.
