  • The title for a specific question page (displayed in the browser tab) shows the community name followed by the question title:
  • ![Current browser tabs showing community name first](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/a2gj13x4qae4tr38syxct5j6bv4p)
  • This means that only the first word or two of the question title are visible. Even less is visible when tabs become narrower when many are open at once.
  • If instead the page title was the question title followed by the community name (switch the order), then more of the question title would be visible:
  • ![Proposed browser tabs showing question title first](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/dui3kc40s9s6eit3dcy4d57zz3dx)
  • This would make it easier to distinguish between different questions when several are open in different browser tabs.

  • ## Identifying which community
  • As this change would mean the community name is no longer visible in the browser tab without hovering to see the full page title, I have also requested a [unique favicon per community](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/287744).

Show question title before community name in browser tab
The title for a specific question page (displayed in the browser tab) shows the community name followed by the question title:

![Current browser tabs showing community name first](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/a2gj13x4qae4tr38syxct5j6bv4p)

This means that only the first word or two of the question title are visible. Even less is visible when tabs become narrower when many are open at once.

This would make it easier to distinguish between different questions when several are open in different browser tabs.
