Awesome extension! Seems to keep/remember the tab names much longer than other similar extensions I've tried. Thank you!!!

So far so good! I used another before that kept resetting but this one seems pretty stable! Does exactly what it says on the tin, thanks!

Almost there, I set up my tabs to auto-sleep after a set amount of inactivity, I noticed that whenever my tab goes to sleep and I have to reload the tab, it comes back to the previous name. My use case is that I am trying to access some Chinese website and has to rename it to English but it keeps going back because of this
