Loved it!! this extension is simple af you just have to go to the tab which you want to rename then open the extension and the rename it, you can also set time period for the tab too

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.
