Your tabs,
your rules

Stop titles that keep changing, counts that keep shouting, and icons that all look the same. Tab Title Tamer hands the tab strip back to you: rename a tab, stop a page from changing its title, remove notification counts, and set a custom favicon per site.

Free from the first install. Pro adds reach, with a 7-day trial and a one-time payment.

Inbox - Mail

[PROD]Dashboard

[STAGING]Dashboard

[LOCAL]Dashboard

Four tabs on the same site. The count stops flickering, and three dashboards stop looking alike.

What it does

Per-site rules, set from the popup in a couple of clicks. Everything below works on the free plan unless it says Pro.

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 taming 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, freeze its icon, cycle its marker. 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, written *.example.com, plus name 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.

Free where it counts. Pro when you need the reach.

The free plan has no time limit. Pro is a one-time payment, with a 7-day trial that asks for no payment method.

Install, then open the settings page and start the trial from its Pro page. It can be started once per browser profile.

Payments are processed by Stripe through ExtensionPay, and the extension never sees card details. The licence is tied to your email address, so logging in restores it on a new machine or after a reinstall.

Nothing leaves your browser

No analytics, no tracking, no data collection. Your rules are stored in 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, and that fetch can never reach a private address that is not the page’s own host.

Questions

Is it free?

The core is free with no time limit: title taming, count removal, icon freezing, markers in the free colors, three custom titles, and per-site rules with ports and IP addresses. Pro is optional, a one-time payment, with a 7-day trial that needs no payment method.

Why does it ask for access to all sites?

A rule can target any site you pick, so there is no shorter list to ask for. On the pages you configure, the extension reads the title, the address and the icon markup inside your browser, applies your rules, and sends nothing anywhere.

Which sites does it work on?

Anything that opens in a tab: Gmail, Slack, Jira, Notion, YouTube, WhatsApp Web, Google Docs, localhost. The browser’s own pages, such as the extension stores and the settings screens, are off limits to every extension.

What happens when the trial ends?

Everything in the free plan keeps working, with no time limit. Pro features switch off until you buy Pro.

I reinstalled and Pro is gone.

ExtensionPay ties the licence to your email address. Log in from the Pro page in the settings and it comes back, on a new machine too.

Can I take my rules to another computer?

Pro’s backup exports every rule and setting to a plain JSON file. Load it on the other machine and you are set.

What are the keyboard shortcuts?

Alt+Shift+T tames the tab you are on, Alt+Shift+I freezes its icon, Alt+Shift+B cycles its marker through your quick styles. Each creates the rule if the site has none. Your browser’s extension shortcuts page lets you change them.
