Why not put it as a setting? Thus the user decide how you want to use.

> 2. Stripped text to 7 characters and added ellipsis.

> The best option is to settle for a middle-ground and write a system which
> automatically shortens titles when there are more tabs opened. Firefox has a
> robust implementation of this, and it doesn't seem simple to implement.

> I wanted your opinions on my change, whether something like this would help
