About Tab Title Tamer: Rename Tabs, Custom Favicons

Your tabs keep changing behind your back. 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. PRO: 7-DAY FREE TRIAL No payment method required to try, and Pro is a one-time payment, not a subscription. It adds: emoji, image and borrowed-tab icons with the full color palette, sixteen quick styles and any color you like, unlimited custom titles, wildcard and path rules, automatic modes, keep-the-count-on-homepage, and backup/restore. PRIVACY No analytics, no tracking, no data collection. Rules never leave your browser. The only network requests are ExtensionPay's licence check and fetching a site's own favicon when you ask for a marker on it.
