Tab Title Tamer - Master Your Tab Bar!

Tired of websites constantly changing their tab titles with distracting numbers, notifications, or clickbait? Take back full control of your Browse experience with Tab Title Tamer!

Tab Title Tamer is a powerful yet user-friendly extension designed to stop annoying tab title changes, remove clutter, and let you set your own custom titles for any website. Enjoy a calmer, more focused, and personalized Browse environment.

Why you'll love Tab Title Tamer:

✨ Peace of Mind & Focus: Eliminate distracting tab title animations, flashing "(1)" notifications, or messages trying to lure you back. Concentrate on your work or study without interruption.

⚙️ Total Title Control:
* Stop unwanted changes: Prevent sites from altering titles when tabs are inactive, or choose to lock them permanently.
* Declutter Titles: Automatically remove distracting parenthesized numbers (e.g., "(123 new messages)") from tab titles for a cleaner look. This can be set as a default for all sites or configured individually.
* Custom Titles (PRO): Set your own static, meaningful titles for any website, making it easier to identify your tabs at a glance.

🔧 Flexible Configuration:
* Site-Specific Rules: You're in charge! Easily toggle taming, number removal, or set custom titles for any website directly from the extension's popup or the detailed options page.
* Default Behaviors (Manual or Automatic PRO): Choose whether taming and number removal are off by default (you enable them for specific sites) or on by default for all sites (you disable them for specific sites - a PRO feature).
* Wildcard Hostnames (PRO): Apply your configurations to multiple subdomains of a website (e.g., *.example.com) with a single rule.

🚀 Lightweight & Efficient: Designed to be unobtrusive and not slow down your Browse.

👍 Simple to Use & Customizable: A clean, straightforward interface in the popup for quick actions, and a comprehensive options page for fine-tuning. Choose from light, dark, or system themes for the extension's interface.

🔒 Privacy-Focused: Tab Title Tamer works locally in your browser. It doesn't track your Browse history. Your settings are stored locally. For Pro features, payment processing is handled securely by ExtensionPay and Stripe.

🔄 Settings Export & Import (PRO): Easily backup and restore all your site configurations and preferences – perfect for syncing across browsers or keeping a personal backup.

How it works:

Tab Title Tamer intelligently monitors tab titles based on your settings.

When taming is active for a site, it prevents the title from changing when the tab is inactive (or always, depending on your choice).
When number removal is active, it automatically cleans up titles by removing those bracketed numbers.
With custom titles (PRO), your chosen title will be displayed for that site, overriding whatever the site tries to set.

Perfect for:
Users who find rapidly changing or cluttered tab titles distracting or annoying.
Maintaining focus during work, study, or any online activity.
Anyone wanting a cleaner, more predictable, and personalized Browse experience.
Power users who want fine-grained control over their tab appearance.
Install Tab Title Tamer today and bring calm, clarity, and control back to your browser tabs!
