## Description

This is a smart tab renamer. You can use regex matching on title for specific URLs to rename tab titles at will.

For each rule, you have 3 fields to fill:
- target URL pattern: the URLs this rule will apply on
- title regex (with groups): the regex that will match the tab title. You can use capture groups and use those in the rename pattern.
- rename pattern: the new name for the tab, can use the captured groups from above.

For example, to rename all tabs on <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/18292d9c1899dd2b453ea9e3c1375587569f07a1d91694af6d865f8eab086cdb/http%3A//github.com" rel="nofollow">github.com</a> starting with "GitHub -" to the rest of the title:
- target URL: "*github*"
- title regex: "^GitHub - (?&lt;title&gt;.*)$"
- rename pattern: "&lt;title&gt;".
