How to Automatically Name Gemini Tabs in Chrome

All Google Gemini tabs in Chrome default to being named “Google Gemini.” This has wasted hours of my life, so I finally decided to build a fix.

I’ve been using Gemini a LOT. First, it was the introduction of their Deep Research functionality, which I still find to be more accurate than the other models. Then Nano Banana and Veo leapfrogged ahead of all the other image and video generators.

In the last few months, I often find myself with 20+ tabs open, all named “Google Gemini,” which leads ever-increasing task-switching costs as I shift back and forth between projects, or even between different sub-tasks while working on the same project.

💡

Quick Tip: You can use “Cmd + Shift + A” (or Ctrl + Shift + A on PC) to select a tab by searching through tab titles. You can also use the QuickTabs extension to have a slightly more efficient search.

At first I was going to build a new Chrome Extension to handle this, but instead decided on a quick fix that you can implement in <5 minutes, with no coding experience required.

Here it is.

1. Install Tampermonkey in Chrome

Open this page in Chrome: Tampermonkey on the Chrome Web Store.
Click Add to Chrome.
Confirm by clicking Add extension in the popup.
You should now see a new black-and-white Tampermonkey icon in the toolbar (a square with two dots).

That icon is how you’ll access and manage your scripts.

2. Create a new userscript

Click the Tampermonkey icon in the Chrome toolbar.
Choose Dashboard. This opens a new tab with a list of scripts (probably empty).
In the Dashboard, click Add a new script or + (Create a new script).
An editor tab opens with some template code starting with // ==UserScript==.

We’ll replace that template with a script that renames Gemini

3. Paste a ready-made script for Gemini

Delete everything in the editor, then paste this:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Gemini Tab Titler
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      1.3
// @description  Update browser tab to reflect Gemini conversation title
// @match        https://gemini.google.com/*
// @grant        none
// @run-at       document-idle
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';

    const updateTitle = () => {
        const gemTitle = document.querySelector('span.conversation-title')?.textContent;
        const newTitle = gemTitle ? `Gemini: ${gemTitle.slice(0, 50).trim()}` : 'Gemini';

        if (document.title !== newTitle) {
            document.title = newTitle;
        }
    };

    // 10s delay, then update every 15s
    setTimeout(() => {
        updateTitle();
        setInterval(updateTitle, 15000);
    }, 10000);
})();

4. Save and enable the script

In the editor, click File → Save, or press Ctrl+S / Cmd+S.
Make sure the toggle next to the script name in the Dashboard is ON (green).

Now the script is active.

5. Enable User Scripts / Developer Mode

If the script doesn’t immediately start working, follow the steps here to ensure that you have user scripts or Developer Mode enabled.

That’s it.

All of your Gemini tabs should now automatically name themselves 10s after loading, then update that name every 15 seconds in case you shift between conversations.
