Description

Shows title in top of the page, since you cant read the title in the small tabs. Created by Martin Dalgaard

This plugin will show the full page title in the bottom of the page, so you can see the full title. Nice small tool for SEO guys and everyone using Chrome.

You can move the bar to each corner so it's never obstructing your website. You can also hide it on pages where you don't want it.

You can also hold the mouse over the area to see the title length.

The source code is on github, feel free to fork it: https://github.com/martindj

It works, but do note: 1. If you have any pages still open while downloading it, refresh them to see the title. 2. The font is incredible small, but as Phuong Tran said in a previous review, you can combine it with other apps. 3. High CPU usage.

Still works in Oct 2nd 2019. Not like this extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/easy-show-title-plus/gdpfgejmikpgbnbhbhjegjfglhodfloa, Show Title Tag update every change of title while browsing while the Show Title Plus need to reload. * Please note that as many other extensions, this extension may need to be reloaded the browser to active its effect. * * * There have a bug here, please fix it: Denying load of chrome-extension://pkbffbhglicfngmppdlpmpblfgnkdgio/font/fontawesome-webfont.ttf. Resources must be listed in the web_accessible_resources manifest key in order to be loaded by pages outside the extension.

A good solution to an irritating issue ! The only drawback to my mind is the title tag persisting through page print, often covering printed content. Much as the title tag is welcome on the screen, it is unwelcome on a print, much less when it overlays some printed page content. My suggestion: add an option to prevent the tag from getting sent to the printer. That'd be a 5th star AFAIC.
