Specification

https://github.com/whatwg/html/compare/main...diekus:html:main


Summary

Installed web apps can change the text on the title bar based on the page's 
content. The current behavior is that the installed web application will put 
the app's name from the manifest and append the page’s inner text from the 
`<title>` HTML tag in the head of the page. This often can create awkward 
titles for some web apps. This feature allows to specify complementary 
information about the current window of an installed running PWA. It adds a 
subtitle to the page to provide contextual information that is displayed in the 
window's title bar. This replaces the text contained in the HTML's title tag.

Motivation

Installed web apps cannot provide dynamic/controllable contextual information 
in their title bar. Contextual information can be the name of an open document, 
the section of an app or any other information that can be relevant to the 
running installed Web app. Having this information in the title bar can be 
useful to identify the open window when selecting among open apps in surfaces 
like the Alt+Tab action on Windows (and similar actions on macOS and Linux to 
jump between open apps).
