How to get the title of a specific tab?
-1
I want to get the title of a specific tab on chrome.
For example, when you play a song on spotify.com, the tab's title will change base on the current song.
So how can I get the tab's title and show it on the popup.html?

Sounds like you will need content_scripts for tab and extension interaction
Something like this...
- Create a content script file on your chrome extension
- In that file, detect title changes using an eventListiner, and get the title value using
document.title
- Send a message with the updated title value attached, and send it to your extension app using messge passing
- Receive the message on your popup.html
