Great extension, but it seems to have a maximum number of entries? I got to the point where all my old tab titles still worked, and new tab titles showed up in the extension settings. But new tab titles weren't actually being processed on the tab. Either there are a maximum number of entries, or Chrome stops the extension if it doesn't find the title fast enough. I had to reinstall to clear out all my old entries, but most of them were junk anyways.
