What's the point? How many people actually keep fewer than 10k unread messages in their inbox?
Unless of course I go on vacation and then I have an hour or two to get back to NORMAL.

I have none. I have a complex series of filters which direct mailing lists, automated emails, etc into separate labels which bypass the inbox. If it makes it to my inbox, it's important enough to be read quickly -- this generally means only about 50-100 emails a day.
Appears to be based on this code: http://snipplr.com/view/29188/ EDIT: actually, it might or might not be based on it, but that code shows how to implement dynamic favicons, at least for Google Chrome. Another edit: MikeCapone observed in another comment that it only goes up to "30+" so they might just be using 30 static images. But if so, why that wouldn't work in browsers other than Chrome 6+ and Firefox 2+ is beyo…
Just guessing, but it's probably because most browsers heavily cache the favicon image.
Interesting... I like it, but it's entirely eclipsed by extensions like Google Mail Checker Plus[1], for me. [1]: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/gffjhibehnempbke...
I've been using Better Gmail for Chrome to get this functionality: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/gmfocnipihcoejdi...

I installed it and it just says 30+ I wish it went up to 99 at least. I get about 150 emails a day...

Most people.
If you have 10k+ unread messages, it's time to introduce some filters to mark them as read.
I had no idea Chrome had that "pin tabs" feature until I read this blog post. My tab bar is suddenly a lot neater without the ever-present Gmail/HN/SO occupying as much space as the stuff I'm actively working on.
Huzzah, now I don't need this extension to do this for me. Rather off topic, but I really wish one day that gmail (@gmail.com and custom domains) supported multiple logins from the same window, I have Opera installed just for company email.
