Reviews & Comments of Show Title Tag chrome extension

It works, but do note: 1. If you have any pages still open while downloading it, refresh them to see the title. 2. The font is incredible small, but as Phuong Tran said in a previous review, you can combine it with other apps. 3. High CPU usage.

Still works in Oct 2nd 2019. Not like this extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/easy-show-title-plus/gdpfgejmikpgbnbhbhjegjfglhodfloa, Show Title Tag update every change of title while browsing while the Show Title Plus need to reload. * Please note that as many other extensions, this extension may need to be reloaded the browser to active its effect. * * * There have a bug here, please fix it: Denying load of chrome-extension://pkbffbhglicfngmppdlpmpblfgnkdgio/font/fontawesome-webfont.ttf. Resources must be listed in the web_accessible_resources manifest key in order to be loaded by pages outside the extension.

A good solution to an irritating issue ! The only drawback to my mind is the title tag persisting through page print, often covering printed content. Much as the title tag is welcome on the screen, it is unwelcome on a print, much less when it overlays some printed page content. My suggestion: add an option to prevent the tag from getting sent to the printer. That'd be a 5th star AFAIC.

Doesn't work on google pages. And can't customize the size of it!

Thanks ! This works like a charm for me on the latest Chrome. One improvement: please remove when printing.

This extension seems to do nothing at all. I have it installed in Chrome, and when you click on it the extension's webpage appears, when you hover over it nothing happens. It shows nothing on the pages at all. Weird

Well done. Please work to reduce the memory usage!

This is Fantastic ! Chrome without a title bar is an absolute pain - it could easily have remained an option that users decided whether or not to enable since it is part of the HTML standard to have an actual Title line for a browser as can be defined for each webpage - and on some sites it is needed to assist with navigation. Big THANKS!! to CeroMedia & 3Mand for providing an alternative way to display the Title text. I'd suggest 3 options for your consideration - allow the user to position the Title line at either: 1. where it should be on top of very top above row of tabs (in small font), 2. On top of the Bookmarks bar to the right of Apps so that if this bar is blank you can have larger font being used and 3. where it is currently. You could also allow the font size to be set by the user if you wanted to as well. But great work as it is now - a much needed correction to fix Chrome's senseless act of HTML vandalism.

Does what it says it does, and does it well. However, it is a brutal memory hog (I assume there's some sort of memory leak - I had it eating over 1Gb after continued use).

Doesn't work

Thank God someone thought of this! WHY did someone ever think it was a good idea to hide the title for a Web page? And how this could catch on is beyond me. Duh. It hurts the usefulness of the browser and Web pages. At least make it an option to display the full title tag, without having to mouse over it! My only complaint about this extension is the font is too small (at least on this monitor) and it's hard to see. Two suggestions: 1. Option to set the font size for the text 2. Make it easier to copy to clipboard (currently you can mouse over it, click & drag to select, but right-click > Select All, or right-click > Copy To Clipboard would be easier). Hope this helps.

Better than nothing. Can't have it in the title bar obviously due to Google chrome's restrictions but at least we can see the title without it getting truncated. But hey what the ___? It takes way too much memory. Fix this please developer!

This is a useful extension, but for what it does it takes up far more memory then other extensions that access similar data. After testing it out, the extension had grown to 336M (according to chrome's task manager) which is more then all my other extensions combined.

It would be better if it appeared in the address bar or even if it was a titch bigger but hey ... I don't even know if that's possible in Chrome and I couldn't do it so thanks to the dev and 5 well-deserved stars.

Used to glitch a lot and there were CPU spike issues, but those've been fixed.

Works like a charm!

good ideas,

It crashes a ton.

Not terribly useful because it will not update when the document.title changes while the page is already loaded.

The Show Title Tag extension provides a great solution to the problem of not being able to read the full page title easily. I'd like to see a feature added that would give us the ability to modify the appearance of the title, maybe even with a CSS snippet.

crashes daily

It does the job of showing you the title tags. However requires a lot of memory. I had to kill it off because everything slowed down and it became unworkable.

I am happy you have made this extension. I have found though, that I cannot have it constantly running, it runs away with memory and causes the fan on my macbook pro to run constantly. by turning off your extension, all is well again. Want to LOVE this, hope this can be looked into...

Awesome extension for webmasters. I use it everyday.

I liked it until I too discovered that it hogged 25-50% of my CPU almost constantly when I had multiple tabs open (20-25). What!? Just to show the page title? And I'm using TabMemFree which doesn't show tab content until tab is selected. So there is no excuse for such obnoxious behavior. This is malware. I blame Google Chrome, mostly, for not having a normal title bar that every other browser has.

High CPU usage. Current version is unusable unfortunately.

There's no reason why this extension should be eating 35% of an i7 dual CPU and upwards of 400MB of RAM. Unusable until this issue gets fixed.

This keeps chewing up my CPU...I've had to disable it...

Helpful when it works, but it seems that it just stops working after a while. And never works on some pages.

Works great, but I agree with some others: "Suggestion: Add an option to allow the long title to be somewhere at top, near the tabs."
