Titles rewrite themselves, counts like (3) or (1000+) flash for attention, and half your tabs wear the same tiny icon. Tab Title Tamer hands the tab strip back to you. TITLES THAT STAY PUT • Tame a tab's title so the page can't keep rewriting it. Always, or only while the tab is inactive. • Name a tab yourself. "Rent - the good one", "Taxes 2026". It keeps that name through reloads and notifications. • Add a marker around the live title without freezing it: "[Work] Inbox", "Draft - Chapter 4". QUIET TABS • Strip notification-count clutter: (3), (12), (1000+), (5M+)… Real parentheses like "(room 3)" are left alone. • Freeze a site's tab icon so notification badges and red dots can't change it. WHEN TWO TABS LOOK THE SAME • Mark one with a color: a band, a corner, a dot or a ring drawn over the site's own icon. • Your work inbox and your personal one. One client's dashboard and another's. Red, green and orange are free. • Save your favorite markers as quick styles and apply one in a single tap from the popup. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WITH A LOT OF TABS • Keyboard shortcuts: tame this tab (Alt+Shift+T), hold its icon (Alt+Shift+I), cycle its marker (Alt+Shift+B). They create the rule for you if the site has none. • Paste a whole list of addresses and get every rule at once. • Pause a rule instead of deleting it: everything kept, nothing applied, one click to bring it back. • A guided setup on install that offers the sites you already have open. IF YOU SHIP CODE • Rules can target a port, so localhost:3000 and localhost:8080 are two different sites. IP addresses work too. Both free. • Mark production red and localhost green and stop deploying to the wrong tab. • With Pro: every subdomain at once (.example.com), patterns like dev-, and rules on a specific path. IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, French, German, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. It follows your browser, or you pick one yourself.

PRIVACY No analytics, no tracking, no data collection. Rules never leave your browser.
