When I open a few tabs I get this:
So why not move that text to the end, so we can see extension names in our tabs without hovering, switching, etc?

(Not what you want, but mouseover on the tab... Should work most everywhere, not only on Pale Moon.
Suppose you could use an extension to modify the page <title> </title>?)

Well, I see two possibilities
1. Start a discussion with New Tobin Paradigm.
2. Install
Greasemonkey (if not already done) and use a script to change the title tag
Code: Select all
// ==UserScript==
// @name change_pm_addon_title
// @namespace cpat
// @include https://addons.palemoon.org/*
// @version 1
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
// greasemonkey for pale moon 3.31.4
document.title = document.title.replace ('Pale Moon - ', '') + ' - Pale Moon';

1. No.
2. Thank you, I have Violentmonkey installed in Opera, so that will do it.

This is really annoying tradition\pattern, has taken root on many sites - site name in the begining of tab аnd only then site topic name.
Это действительно очень тупая традиция\шаблон, прижилась на многих сайтах - имя сайта в начале вкладок и только затем, название раздела, страницы.

Maybe they want more people to install Greasemonkey
Thank you for the script.

That would be an incorrect assumption.

It goes back to when the web was originally made up of HTML documents connected by links - the title reflected the page hierarchy going back to the root. This was long before tabbed browsing existed so space wasn't a constraint. Also when you are browsing through your history, it is easier to see entries for a given site at a glance if the page title begins with the site name.
Although these days many sites have completely stopped making the title reflect the current context or section, making it useless. Right click on your history back button and you will just see a long list of 'mywebsite.com' - so you can't jump back to a particular page anymore.

I personally have always used reverse breadcrumb page titles but MCP sites use natural order more in line with the older web as moonbat says.
The point is, I am not the one to convince for Pale Moon and Basilisk site page titles. Moonchild is. I merely stay consistent on the parts I manage. So the answer is no until he says otherwise and I am fine with that.
