Lock tab title with a given string. The locked title doesn't change even if the tab loads the new page. You may find it useful when you want to name tabs by yourself to easily distinguish them, not by the original names.

Was not presented with an input field, for the new title. [Windows 11, Vivaldi 6.5]

Works well. As Michael said it does just one thing and does it well. (My only—minor—criticism would be that it's not persistent across browser restarts, but since I rarely restart my browser that's only a minor inconvenience resetting the title on a handful of tabs every few days.)

Does exactly what it promises, and only that. Has a simple UI that takes < 5 minutes to master. A genuine productivity booster if you need to keep many tabs open. Where sites set all their page titles to begin with repeated branding blather, you can distinguish the resulting tabs by giving them titles that summarize what each tab means to you.

Safety

Risk impact

Lock Title is risky to use as it requires a number of sensitive permissions that can potentially harm your browser and steal your data. Exercise caution when installing this extension. Review carefully before installing. We recommend that you only install Lock Title if you trust the publisher.
