I've reported it to IPS, although it is not a straight forward thing to fix, and most browsers don't display the title bar anyway, so it may not get fixed.

I only use Firefox, so confirming that claim won't happen. But how do people using other browsers know which tab they want to open if title isn't shown? I get that knowing page number is minor thing.

Firefox doesn't display the title bar normally either, just the tab bar. Tabs there aren't wide enough to routinely display the page number.

The tabs part is still a thing with shorter titles and on mobile for example. I'm not gonna argue further with you as it's really minor thing, and since Firefox is my main browser regardless of platform
