Hijack HTML <title> to say iD or OSM - iD instead of just OpenStreetMap #8202

Even if there is no cooperation from the OSM website team on such longstanding issues, couldn't iD somehow 'hijack the HTML page title' itself, to distinguish its tab from the other OSM tabs that a user surely has open? I mean iD certainly can change the content of a page. How about the HTML title too? 14018-6 (Yes, one has given up long ago asking for different colored magnifying glass icons etc.)

We added a dynamic title in #6209, but iD is embedded in an iframe on osm.org, so it has no ability to set the containing page title directly.

We could look into passing the title through to the website…

In https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/6209#issue-435455972 that photo with iD iD iD iD iD iD iD would be fine with me for now.

Hmm ... Will a novice user understand that the tab that says "iD" is the OSM Editor? If it is possible to edit the title, perhaps it would be more user friendly to add a pencil emoji to it. Something like "✏️ OpenStreetMap" rather than just "iD".
