jsosmd (ID: 00000051c4052847) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 02/19/2024 PRO: nice GUI; persistent re-titling; was fixed to work even if new title is pasted in containing several lines of text; CON: does not work with all sites, such as TitanTV.com - which (unfortunately) I need to use quite frequently. Windows 11, Vivaldi 6.5

Bart Cook (ID: 0000000a61ea582f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/12/2023 I really, really like this and use it a lot. I routinely have about 30 tabs open in Brave and use this to name more than half of them. When I restart Brave (after an update or after a reboot - otherwise I leave it running all the time), I see the tabs are initially loaded with the names I have given them, but as soon as I click on a tab it reverts to the "normal" name, not the name I have given it. This is valuable enough that I also routinely go thru and rename all the tabs as soon as I have loaded Brave, but it seems like, since the names are there after a restart until I select the tab, it might be fairly easy to have them persist. I hope, anyway. Maybe this is unique to Brave but works for Chrome?
