Add option to remove addresses from window/tab titles
I would like to see a new feature where the user can uncheck a box to have the title/address removed from the window/tab title.
Some employers, especially in Europe, allow employees to browse privately but do scan EXE names and window titles to protect against malware that may be run. If I'm browsing a website on "Prostate Cancer", the title of my browser changes to "WebMd Prostate Cancer" or something like that. Configuration management products and vulnerability scanners will notice that and record it. Now my employer knows I've got prostate cancer.
2nd use case would be in the case of OS beta testers. A lot of telemetry is turned on during beta/early adoption. Even if I browse with Tor on my home machine, the OS vendor knows the names of the websites I've browsed to by the title of the window. As that telemetry gets submitted to the OS vendor, they now know of my health problems or adult extracurriculars.
If I could tell Tor that in ultimate privacy mode the window title never gets that information in the first place, then neither my employer nor my OS vendor gets this information. Boom, most private browser ever.
