Safety
Risk impact

Custom Titlebar Text requires a number of risky permissions that can potentially harm your browser and steal your data. Exercise caution when installing this add-on. Review carefully before installing. We recommend that you only install Custom Titlebar Text if you trust the publisher.

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypass your security settings, and access your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Risk likelihood

Custom Titlebar Text has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on, especially ones with higher risk impact and/or higher risk likelihood.

I still use this great extension to provide the domain name in the titlebar. This functionality has NOT been superseded by KeePassXC-Browser add-on, contrary to what the author says :o) Sadly it does not work on some webpages on many website (for instance: https://www.blablacar.fr/login)... Could you fix it?

works for many website, but not all, for example it does not work on youtube IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to WebExtensions API security, this add-on does not work on this web site (addons.mozilla.org) and may not work on some mozilla.org domains.

Finally - a simple solution. Works great and cutomizable
