Change order of information in page title #723

The titles of the media.ccc.de website are formatted as follows: media.ccc.de - {title of video/category}. Browsers display the page title in the tab bar to help the user identify the tab.

Depending on the amount of open tabs, the width of the tabs is reduced and the page title is cut to the right, thereby only displaying the first few characters of the title. Example from Chromium: Screenshot_2023-09-03_22-06-16

With the current format, it is hard to distinguish between the different pages, because the identifying part of the title is cut. Other popular websites (e.g. YouTube, Google) mitigate this issue by putting the identifying part of the page (e.g. the video title) first and then the global title of the page second.

I suggest to adopt the same formatting scheme for page titles: {title of video/category} - media.ccc.de
