Tab Title Tamer by RomsKidd

Your tabs keep changing behind your back. Titles rewrite themselves, counts like (3) or (1000+) flash for attention, and half your tabs wear the same tiny icon. Tab Title Tamer hands the tab strip back to you: rename a tab, stop a page from changing its title, remove notification counts, and set a custom favicon per site.

TITLES THAT STAY PUT
• Tame a tab's title so the page can't keep rewriting it. Always, or only while the tab is inactive.
• Name a tab yourself. "Rent - the good one", "Taxes 2026". It keeps that name through reloads and notifications.
• Rename just this tab: a one-shot name that survives navigation and disappears when the tab closes. No rule, no quota.
• Mark the tab to come back to with 🔴, ⏳ or ✅, straight from the popup.
• Add a marker around the live title without freezing it: "[Work] Inbox", "Draft - Chapter 4".

QUIET TABS
• Strip notification-count clutter: (3), (12), (1000+), (5M+)… Real parentheses like "(room 3)" are left alone.
• Freeze a site's tab icon so notification badges and red dots can't change it.

WHEN TWO TABS LOOK THE SAME
• Mark one with a color: a band on any side, a corner, a dot or a ring drawn over the site's own icon.
• Your work inbox and your personal one. One client's dashboard and another's. Red, green and orange are free.
• Save your favorite markers as quick styles and apply one in a single tap from the popup.

BUILT FOR PEOPLE WITH A LOT OF TABS
• Keyboard shortcuts: tame this tab (Alt+Shift+T), hold its icon (Alt+Shift+I), cycle its marker (Alt+Shift+B). They create the rule for you if the site has none.
• Paste a whole list of addresses and get every rule at once.
• Share rules as text: pick them, copy, and whoever receives the block pastes it to get your scope, titles, markers and badges. Three per copy on the free plan.
• Pause a rule instead of deleting it: everything kept, nothing applied, one click to bring it back.
• A guided setup on install that offers the sites you already have open.

IF YOU SHIP CODE
• Rules can target a port, so localhost:3000 and localhost:8080 are two different sites. IP addresses work too. Both free.
• Mark production red and localhost green and stop deploying to the wrong tab.
• Hand the team your prod, staging and localhost rules as one paste-able text.
• With Pro: every subdomain at once, written *.example.com, plus name patterns like dev-anything, and rules on a specific path.

ALSO KNOWN AS
If you came here looking for a tab renamer, a tab title changer, a favicon changer, or a way to stop a page from renaming its own tab, this is it. It works on Gmail, Slack, Jira, Notion, YouTube, WhatsApp Web, Google Docs, localhost, and anything else that opens in a tab.

PRIVACY
No analytics, no tracking, no data collection. Rules never leave your browser. The only network requests are ExtensionPay's licence check and fetching a site's own favicon when you ask for a marker on it.
