User reviews

Users appreciate Tab Renamer for its simplicity, ease of use, and minimal resource consumption. It effectively and persistently renames tabs without requiring a page reload and includes useful icon customization. Some users note that renaming applies to entire domains rather than individual URLs, which limits precision. Additionally, tab names may revert after tabs sleep and reload. Overall, the extension is favored for straightforward, reliable tab renaming, especially compared to similar tools.

Pros

Simple and easy to use with a straightforward interface
Renames tabs effectively and persistently without page reloads
Consumes minimal memory and is lightweight
Allows customization such as changing tab icons with many options
Remembers tab names longer and works consistently compared to alternatives

Cons

Renamed names apply to all pages on the same domain, lacking finer control per URL path
Tab renaming can revert after the tab goes to sleep and is reloaded
Minor input bug reported where lowercase 'c' does not register for one user

Perfect and super simple! I tried Tab Modifier but firstly it has to reload the page after a rename and secondly it didn't seem to be available on every tab. If all you want to do is a quick (and persistent) rename with no unnecessary bells and whistles this is brilliant!

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.

Tab Renamer requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
