Option to manually edit a pinned tab

[rcsaquino]

A feature to manually edit pinned tabs would give users more control and solve common issues with dynamic URLs. Here's why it's important:

1. Prevent unwanted redirects: Some sites, like Facebook Messenger, automatically redirect to your last chat or specific content. Pinning that tab locks in the redirected URL. With manual editing, you could pin the homepage instead, ensuring it always opens fresh.

2. Avoid dynamic URLs: Sites that update URLs daily (e.g., news sites) often redirects to the today's page (e.g., somewebsite.com/news-for-Oct-18-2024). Editing the URL lets you pin the base site (somewebsite.com) to get the latest content every time.

3. Optional title editing: Sites like YouTube add notification counts to the tab title. Editing the title manually would let you clean it up for a neater interface.

This feature would eliminate workarounds and improve user experience by making pinned tabs more flexible and customizable.

Read 1 and 2.

As an example, try pinning facebook.com. Not web.facebook.com or facebook.com/some-stuff-here. Just pure facebook.com. You'll find that it's hard because it will redirect before you could pin it.

This is an essential feature that must be added.

Anyone know of a workaround in the meantime?

It would be just as important to edit unpinned tabs. It really helps with my Google Fu, among other things

I would appreciate this feature too. Was useful in the Arc Browser.

I'm finding it hard to set up Zen because this is missing. I have authentication URLs for things like AWS SAML that redirect to generic login portals, but I need to start at the specific URL.
