URL in Title is a Chrome extension that reformats the title of each browser tab according to its URL. This feature enables seamless integration with utilities like KeePass, which rely on window titles to auto-fill passwords efficiently. By default, the extension appends the protocol and domain name to the tab title, but users can fully customize this behavior via the options page to suit their individual needs.

The extension ensures better title management by supporting pages that dynamically modify or remove the title element. Its recent updates include restoring suffix preservation, migrating to Manifest V3 for improved security, and adding an option to disable the extension on specific pages. The source code is openly available on GitHub, reflecting its transparent development process.

User reviews

The "URL in title" Chrome extension is highly praised for enhancing integration with password managers like KeePass by inserting URLs into page titles, aiding security and productivity. Users appreciate its lightweight and customizable nature, which supports other applications like time trackers and note apps. However, some have noted occasional glitches requiring restarts, partial URL display, compatibility issues with some websites or extensions, and desires for added features such as better handling of new tab titles and site blacklists.

Pros

Works well with KeePass for auto-type and password management integration.
Helps distinguish URLs in page titles, improving security against spoofed websites.
Allows other applications (e.g., note-taking, time tracking) to inspect browser window titles reliably.
Customizable and lightweight, making it efficient without unnecessary bloat.
Enhances productivity by stabilizing and clarifying page titles, especially for time tracking and autologin purposes.

Cons

Occasionally requires toggling the extension off and on to restore functionality.
Does not always display the full URL; sometimes only the domain is shown.
A few websites can prevent the extension from working properly, e.g., Spotify login page.
Can cause issues with certain other extensions leading to infinite loops or title conflicts.
Could use additional features like site blacklisting and better handling of new tab titles and 'www.' prefixes.

Recent reviews

I use this extension to support the auto-type feature on KeePass, my password manager. Most of the time it works great, but every once in a while I have to turn the extension off and back on to reenable the URL in the page title. That is the only reason I give 4 instead of 5 stars.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

URL in title requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Injects scripts into web pages, which may alter or extract site contents, resulting in a substantial risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
