It works, but do note:
1. If you have any pages still open while downloading it, refresh them to see the title.
2. The font is incredible small, but as Phuong Tran said in a previous review, you can combine it with other apps.
3. High CPU usage.
Still works in Oct 2nd 2019.

There have a bug here, please fix it:
Denying load of chrome-extension://pkbffbhglicfngmppdlpmpblfgnkdgio/font/fontawesome-webfont.ttf. Resources must be listed in the web_accessible_resources manifest key in order to be loaded by pages outside the extension.
A good solution to an irritating issue !
The only drawback to my mind is the title tag persisting through page print, often covering printed content. Much as the title tag is welcome on the screen, it is unwelcome on a print, much less when it overlays some printed page content.
My suggestion: add an option to prevent the tag from getting sent to the printer. That'd be a 5th star AFAIC.
