jsosmd (ID: 00000051c4052847) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 02/19/2024 Keeps new name if the tab is reloaded but loses it after the browser restarts.

Ayrton Naka (ID: 000000c29f3e8a4b) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/30/2023 XからTwitterにタブの名前を変更したく入れてみたけど、最初は良いかなと思ったけど、タブを閉じなければ他のサイトを開いても名前はそのままだけど、タブを閉じるとXに戻ってしまう。

Chelsea Holtzman (ID: 000000138a502a05) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/07/2023 It worked perfectly up until the recent Chrome update. If the page refreshes it reverts to the original tab name. It's not that bad, but I use it to keep track of tabs for work so sometimes it makes me take a little bit longer to find the tab I need. Otherwise, it's been perfect for me. This doesn't happen all the time either, not sure what makes it revert sometimes.
