enhancement get current browser URI #48

Open pas-calc opened 3 years ago

pas-calc commented 3 years ago

enhancement / feature request:

This might be a huge enhancement (both in the impact, but unfortunately also presumably in the complexity of programming this new feature)

Reason: Many titles in Internet browser are not so meaningful, so to have the URL (somehow access the address bar in the browser, e.g. Firefox?) it would help a lot. Example: The Zoom web application does not write Zoom in the html title, only the conference name, there are many more examples.

Other idea would be to write the full URL in the title of the current window. Maybe there is also a Firefox addon that accomplishes this, or Greasemonkey script?

I do the latter and it works for me. Here is the firefox plugin I use that puts full url in window title:

I also use this method while in terminal to have shells put current directory in title, or have other terminal programs distinguish themselves if possible (vim and Emacs allows customising title e.g.). I also get mpv to put full local or remote path in the title etc.
