[Feature request] - Is there a way to add the channel name to the title of a tab on YouTube?

[ciltocruz]

Hello.

I'd like to know if it's possible for this extension, which I'm already using in its new version "tabee" and which works very well, to add the channel name to YouTube tabs.

I've seen that adding a bookmark in my Chrome browser with this code:

javascript:(function(){var e=document.querySelector(".ytd-channel-name a");e?document.title=e.textContent.trim()+" - "+document.title:alert("Channel name not found")})();

It adds it automatically, but I can't find a way to do it automatically when I open a YouTube tab.

Would it be possible to integrate something similar that can be toggled on or off in case some users don't want it?

Thanks.

Hey! Good news - this feature already exists in Tabee! 🎉

You can use CSS selectors directly in the title field using curly braces {selector}.

How to set it up for YouTube:

1. Open Tabee options
2. Create a new rule with:
   - Name: YouTube Channel Name (or whatever you prefer)
   - URL fragment: youtube.com/watch
   - Detection: Contains
   - Title: {.ytd-channel-name a} - {title}

This will automatically prepend the channel name to your YouTube video tabs!

How it works:

• {.ytd-channel-name a} → Extracts text from the element matching this CSS selector (the channel name)
• {title} → The original page title

You can use any valid CSS selector between the curly braces. This works on any website, not just YouTube!

Let me know if you have any questions!

It seems to be working perfectly. We'll see if YouTube doesn't break the functionality and the CSS. Thanks.
