    Brief Summary

    • Support renaming of open tabs
    • Allows users to give a shorter or more descriptive label to open tabs with long or unwieldy names

    Details:
    See screen capture of the same feature implemented in the Arc browser below.

    Image/Video:

      If I'm not mistaken, everything above the horizontal line at the bottom is basically Arc's version of bookmarks. Orion does allow you to rename bookmarks already so maybe the suggestion is to be able to rename any open tab?

      A reference to how Arc handles "bookmarks" and "open tabs". Both can be renamed on the fly.

        chrisoffner3d I sometimes use this Rename tabs bookmarklet

        javascript:(function(){document.title=prompt("Rename tab (reload to reset):",document.title)})()

        Or you can load this into Orion's programmable button (run code) like this

        document.title=prompt("Rename tab (reload to reset):",document.title)

        Note: the change is good until reload only.

            The bookmarklet, as a workaround, is good enough but the ability to rename a tab, by just changing it's name from the GUI, and have it be renamed till it is open (not just till it is reloaded) would be huge. I rename tabs all the time in Arc and would love to be able to do the same in Orion.

            Agree with dhruvkb, when using Arc I rename tabs frequently. This would be a great feature to have, especially when having open PDFs for long periods of time (like when doing academic research). Names can get confusing, this along with folders would be a huge plus to organizing tabs in Orion!

              Huge +1 to this, as I'm migrating off of Arc and considering Orion as a replacement, one of the main features I'm missing is the ability to rename tabs (both pinned and open) to keep my workspace organized. Being able to do that especially with nested tabs would be amazing.

              Another +1 for this feature. It's something I use all the time in Arc and it's such a useful feature because it makes tab organisation and finding the right tab so much better.

              I keep several tabs from the same website open individually and name them all specific to what's on the page. A feature like this in Orion would make me switch to it full time.

                Hi!
                Thanks for adding this feature in the latest release!

                However, why only allowing to rename pinned tabs?

                It would be great to also be able to do it to common tabs. In fact, and maybe I am missing something, but it does not feel too useful due to the pinned tabs beign reduced to their favicon :S

                While in the case of standard tabs, you can actually see the page title to be renamed

                Thanks!
