Yeah, I lived in the Netherlands for five years, so I switched to Chrome because its translation feature is much better.

Now that I'm back in my home country, I've gone back to Firefox, which I prefer from a philosophical standpoint. But there's one simple feature keeping me from using it full-time: the ability to rename windows.

My workflow relies on having one window per project. I name the windows Project1, Project2, Project3, and so on, so it is very simple to find each one.

There are a few Firefox extensions that allow renaming windows, but the names disappear every time I restart Firefox, and they don’t sync across devices.

So, unfortunately, I’m back to using Chromium.



Maybe tab groups would work for you? Windows/tabs are usually (always) named from the <title> html on the web site, and I’m surprised Chrome lets you change that in any persistent way. Firefox tab groups lets you manage things yourself at a higher level.


Thanks. No, I use tab groups also within the windows.
