User reviews

There was no rename option when right clicking a tab, but the input box appears when clicking through the extension icon manually. That said, it seems to not work as of now. Every time I try to rename a tab, it returns an error message saying to please try again. Tried with multiple different tabs—both internet tabs and local file tabs—and restarted chrome, but to no effect. Unfortunate.

Fonctionne très bien c'est juste que au début pour moi sa dit (Error: refresh the tab and try again) Mais quand je fait sa je n'est même pas besoin de try again car sa a rename quand même

The names only persist so long as chrome is open. As soon as you close the browser and reopen it, the names change back to default which renders the app useless imo.
