Tab Retitle Extension

This Chrome/Chromium extension allows you to add custom prefixes and suffixes to all your tab titles. It works across any Chromium-based browser including Chrome, Vivaldi, Edge, and Brave.

Features

  • Add a custom prefix to all tab titles
  • Add a custom suffix to all tab titles
  • Settings are saved and persisted across browser sessions
  • Apply changes immediately to all open tabs
  • Works with dynamically changing tab titles

Installation

  1. Clone or download this repository
  2. Open your Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Vivaldi, Edge, Brave, etc.)
  3. Navigate to the extensions page:
    • In Chrome/Vivaldi: chrome://extensions/
    • In Edge: edge://extensions/
    • In Brave: brave://extensions/
  4. Enable "Developer mode" (usually a toggle in the top-right corner)
  5. Click "Load unpacked" and select the directory containing this extension

Usage

  1. Click on the extension icon in your browser toolbar
  2. Enter your desired prefix in the "Prefix:" field (e.g., "[Work] ")
  3. Enter your desired suffix in the "Suffix:" field (e.g., " - Important")
  4. Click "Save Settings" to store your preferences
  5. Click "Apply Now" to immediately apply the changes to all open tabs

How It Works

The extension uses content scripts to modify the document title of each page. It also sets up a MutationObserver to maintain your prefix/suffix even when websites dynamically change their titles.

Permissions

This extension requires the following permissions:

  • tabs: To access and modify tab information
  • storage: To save your prefix/suffix settings
  • scripting: To inject scripts that modify tab titles
  • host_permissions for all URLs: To modify titles on any website

Notes

  • The extension cannot modify titles of browser internal pages (chrome://, vivaldi://, etc.)
  • Some websites with complex title management might override the extension's changes
