URL in Title Chrome Extension

URL in Title is a practical Chrome extension that reformats the title of each browser tab by incorporating parts of the URL. This feature is particularly useful for utilities like KeePass, which auto-fill passwords based on the title of the current window, enhancing password management efficiency.

By default, the extension appends the protocol and domain name to each tab's title, but users can fully customize the title format through the options page to suit individual preferences. The extension supports disabling on specific pages via a simple attribute and handles cases where pages modify or delete the original title element.

Developed with Manifest V3, URL in Title maintains updated features and improved code quality. The source code is openly available on GitHub for transparency and community contributions.

Features:

Reformats tab titles using URL components
Customizable title formatting
Compatibility with password managers like KeePass
Ability to disable on specific pages
Handles dynamic page title changes
Open source and regularly updated

Pros

Works excellently with KeePass, enabling auto-type functionality by including URL in page titles.
Helps in distinguishing between different website logins or application windows for better tracking and security.
Simple, lightweight, and focused extension without unnecessary bloat or privacy concerns.
Customizable and effective for use cases like time tracking and password management.
Improves the visibility of actual URLs, helping detect spoofed websites and phishing attempts.

Cons

Occasionally requires toggling the extension off and on to reenable URL display in the title.
Does not display the full URL in all cases; sometimes only shows domain or partial URL.
Some websites or pages (e.g., Spotify login page) block or prevent it from working properly.
Lack of certain features like the ability to restore 'New Tab' titles and no built-in support for handling 'www.' prefix or UTF-8 domain names.
Can cause conflicts or loops with other extensions that modify page titles (e.g., YouTube Center).

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.
