I really need this feature, both ARC and Vivaldi have this rename tab feature, this is the only reason I still have Vivaldi browser, if there is this feature then I can finally ditch Vivaldi completely and use Zen completely. This feature can greatly reduce the stress of distinguishing tabs. Although there are related plug-ins, but those plug-ins are very rudimentary and unstable, often refresh or restart the browser after the renaming is invalid, or can only rename the entire domain name, and the link only needs to change slightly, for example, the video website just automatically plays the next recommended video, the link changes, the renaming is invalid, basically completely unavailable, this function can only be achieved by the browser internally |

Please, consider prioritize and develop this feature. This is one of the best Arc's native features. |

Right now the tabs show the current url of the open web site and this is confusing. I would like to have the tab show the name of the link, not the url please. If this web browser can fix most of the outstanding issues, it will be an outstanding browser! :) |

Is it not like this for you? The only place I see the URL is in the URL bar. Tab shows a title
Taskbar shows a title as well

I also would love this feature. When working with multiple pages that have the same name (like reviewing analytics charts, for example), it's so helpful to rename them based on the chart. A bonus request would be: when opening a bookmark which has a custom title - apply that title to the newly opened tab. |

You can do it now. No reason to wait until Zen is as bloated as the previous favorite browser that is now dead. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/search/?q=tab%20title |

CMD+E by default. But I added CMD+P as well (since....who prints things?) |

I don't think that is what people usually understand as a "command palette". That is just a search box. I see no reason to use that, it's less functional than Alt+D (focus URL bar). |

oops that's my bad, I thought I was on the Vivaldi thread. You're totally right, command palette does not exist in Zen. I'm currently trying out all the browsers on my shift off of Arc and have filed lots of complaints on both (ha) |

Unfortunately these extensions do not work for pdf tabs, which is the one situation where I really want to be able to rename tabs. |

Those extensions don't work for me, (some don't work at all and others eventually stop using the tab title you've given it and go back to the old one. it would seem there might be some difference between the functionality on vanilla firefox and zen, but I'm not sure. |

This is very important, as mentioned above. |

Sorry, but it's not. There's plenty of other bugs and visual glitches that should be fixed first, before introducing yet another feature that former Arc users must have. |

@rubaboo you're condescending to Arc users throughout your comments. It's not constructive, stop. |

Please my guy keep it civil, if you're not going to offer any constructive feedback refrain from commenting. Do not make me tap the button. |

Yes please. This is literally the only thing holding me back from switching to Zen from Arc. |

There is a way but it is a little complex... https://github.com/wysh3/zen-premium This gives you the ability to rename tabs by double clicking them, or when you hover (if you want) it will show a little circle that will have an AI summarize it for you. (I use both of them and love it) |

Yes, please add a tab rename feature. Its a pretty simple thing for a developer to enable it please add it to your queue @j14i |

to dev, why not just add a special folder to bookmark and use it for store tab data that user can also rename tab or add folder or sync it, make ui to combine tab and the bookmark that store in special folder to make it look like using normal tab. for example. |

This is what I'm using to rename any tab by pressing F2, not ideal though // ==UserScript==
// @name Rename Tab
// @namespace Violentmonkey Scripts
// @match *
// @grant none
// @version 1.0
// @author -
// @description 24/02/2025, 10:39:10
// ==/UserScript==
window.addEventListener("keydown", event => {
const renaming = event.key === "F2";
if (renaming)
document.title = prompt("Rename Tab");
}); |

But it only allows for pinned tabs to be renamed. What about other tabs? |

Currently it does not allows for the pinned tabs also in the Zen browser |

it does |

I would also like the feature to add tabs to the folders (Pinned tabs) for cleaner workspace (a good implementation done by ARC) |

This feature works actually just have to double click on the pinned tabs to rename |

Yes please I was trying to move n completely from arc and started to set up. I know this is free and open source and we should not rant but i really wish i could. I am also a software developer. I tried to look at code to contribute, but I feel very overwhelmed. |

What feature would you like to see?
I’d love to be able to rename tabs in the tabs bar. This is a killer feature of Arc for me. As a web developer, I’ll often have multiple versions of the same page open (i.e. different environments) and being able to differentiate them is very helpful.
What platform are you seeing the problem on?
macOS
