Window Namer and Restorer BETA Extension

Do you sometimes have multiple Chrome windows open and find that it takes a moment to remember or figure out which window houses which tab?

With this extension you can name your browsing windows! Your custom name will appear in square parenthesis at the beginning of the active tab in each window so you can quickly and easily see which window is which!

This extension also automatically saves the state of any named windows, so if you close one, you can open it back up again easily with just two clicks.

Check the options page for customizable parameters.

This extension is currently in Beta, so there may be times when it doesn't quite function as expected. Whilst it is expected not to have any major faults and generally function correctly, this extension is currently provided as-is and for testing or experimental purposes only. Please do not use unless you are happy with this. New Apeiron accepts no responsibility for loss of data or other damage caused by the use of this extension.

Please note:
Chrome-specific tabs (such as chrome://history/ etc) are fixed so that they cannot be renamed. This means that this extension will not work for that window, when such tabs are selected. However, the prefix will be restored once another tab is selected.
There are some other Google pages which also have this effect and sometimes, you may come across a webpage which renames the page itself. Please let us know when you find these if they are commonly used webpages and not part of the Google or Chrome domain.

Przemek D (ID: 000000a80e47a71e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/31/2023 Exactly what I needed. Name a window, have that name appear in the window title, have it PERSIST after browser restart. 10/10, thank you!

Chad Woolley (ID: 0000003d0f21f7c2) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/19/2022 Very useful! The one limitation is that it doesn't seem to work well with pinned tabs. In my "Main" window, I keep all tabs pinned, and try to keep all unpinned tabs in other windows. But with this approach it doesn't seem to recognize the "Main" window when it re-opens after a reboot.

Darwin Sanoy (ID: 00000002c5819f12) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/05/2021 Super Useful! And super buggy! I am using it with Vivaldi on Mac in combination with spectacles which now makes CMD-Tab useful with each browser window! Anyone know of anything else that has the same approach?

Maurice Bijron (ID: 00000053b7d7c3e5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/10/2019 Just what i needed. Names windows nicely so i can keep my windows organized right in my taskbar. Other addons require you to use another manager which is just one extra manager to use next to my taskbar.

Johnny Murphy (ID: 0000003ab7ea4a3f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/24/2019 the menu takes a while to load and it considered 2 of 7 named windows to be closed when i restarted might just be me using vivaldi on linux thanks for doing this, i've been looking for this for a long time :)
