The Missing Titlebar Extension

For fifteen years Chrome had been hiding page titles from us. For fifteen years we had to hover the mouse over page tab to see the title. But those times are finally over!

Meet The Missing Titlebar extension that brings you back the page title. If for some reasons you don't use browsers with title bar like Opera or Vivaldi, then you can assign hot key combination to this extension to toggle title bar on almost any page (sometimes JavaScript on the page may affect the behavior of this extension).

Title bar font can be configured in extension settings. Font style example: bold italic 17px Arial, sans-serif .
