Reviews of rename tab title:
Except for a few minor design points it was my #1 extension for renaming tabs (yes, "I tried them all ... :); however, something happened near the end of March 2023 and it no longer persists after a restart of the browser. Probably due to some new stupid Google-change; hope the author can correct this, because it really was the best.
get reset everytime the page reloads.
I tried about 8 tab title renames and found this one simple and does what it says. I wanted a one time title change. Very easy in my test. Click the tab - click the extension icon - puts up a box to change the title - press save - done. Title changes immediately - no need to refresh (which all others I tried required). I opened another page in the same tab - it kept the new title. I closed the tab and then reopened it - it kept the new title. I did F5 refresh - kept new title. When I opened a new page in a new tab, it old title came back. That works for my purposes - maybe not for everyone, But I give it high ratings for what I wanted.
Just work for one time
Wish it'd prevent the tab title from changing through navigation/etc in the future as well.
Does not work.
Thanks for the free tool. Please keep developing! (Make sure names don't change, right-click context menu would be fantastic if possible...)
It doesn't work when the page reloads if the site is using jQuery to set the tab title. The developer of this extension could fix this by waiting until the page has fully loaded to set the table title.
4.5 - I recommend a right click context menu.
doesn't work
Exactly what I needed. Renames Chrome browser tab with simple click.
the regex doesn't seem to allow capture groups, i added in the title $1 and /1 and didn't get other title results than "$1" and "/1" i would maintain this plugin if the source was on github and i could fork it
I wanted an extension that would rename a tab for YouTube history to "History - YouTube" from the Google-forced "YouTube". I tried a few and none of them worked. Then I tried Rename Tab Title and my search ended. :) Now every time I go to my YouTube history, boom: the tab title changes to "History - YouTube". Thank you, Anush Veeranala! Edit: Now it's no longer holding the title of "History - YouTube". It holds it for a while, but after some indeterminate amount of time, it goes back to "YouTube". I can never predict when it will do that. Back to the proverbial drawing board...
Generates error: Error handling response: TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined at setTitle (chrome-extension://kppndhfiaenbiioipolacicknfmdcdep/content_script.js:7:36)
does exactly what it says
tabs randomly change back to their original title and whenever you click a new link and one of the main features doesn't even work
I use a bookmarking website called Tagpacker to keep my favorites in the cloud. Although this extension does work, this site I use breaks the extension in the sense that they constantly refresh the site which causes the renamed browser tab to revert to normal naming. Can you fix this extension so that the renamed tab persists until the tab itself is closed, no matter how many times the tab is refreshed? I sure hope so. Thanks in advance.
Simple and it works
The only extension I found that works!
It does exactly what it says. Perfect for multitasking and a clean workspace.
The tab name changes after clicking save. F5 to refresh and the changed tab name goes away.
All I wanted was a simple tool to rename tabs that had very similar urls. This was the only tool that I could get to work and yet it was the simplest to use. I don't write reviews often enough, but I felt this fully deserved it.
Excellent intuitive tool
