Get webpage title, is it possible?

[DavidBevi]

Hi! I have to disclose that I'm a noob, I never used Rust before, and I have very limited knowledge on web-things outside static pages (only once it was dynamic, I deployed a Telegram bot via Cloudflare worker, but only because ChatGPT wrote the code).

I want to make a small exe to wrap 2 web apps (_{^{Whatsapp + Telegram → WATG}})

I chose Tauri because I thought it can act like any 'real' browser, meaning I have access to the document title, from which I wanted to monitor the unread message count.

After many attempts (in Rust and in JS), many web searches, many Q&A with ChatGPT, I'm understanding this is not possible, is it?

Is it correct that Tauri can't access the webpage title? Is this by design?!

ChatGPT: During evolution, there was a hook called on_webview in Tauri1, which allowed access to the WebviewBuilder, and thus potentially hook into title events, but it was never documented. Tauri2 removed this feature.

I cannot find official documents regarding absence / blocking of this feature, that's why I resorted to ask here.
