Brave window title is always "E"

I am developing an application that requires to fetch the title of the active browser window.

On most browsers, the window title corresponds to the title of the website, so I use the standard Windows APIs to read the foreground window title

With Brave, I have encountered an unexpected behavior:

  • In a normal window, the window title returned by Windows is always just “E”
  • In an incognito window, the title matches the currently visited page

Could you please let me know whether this is bug, or if there is a Brave setting that changes this behavior?

Brave Version:
Brave 1.91.171 (Build ufficiale) (a 64 bit)
Chromium: 149.0.7827.103

Operating System:
10.0.26100 build 26100 (Win 11)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Is there a chance you’ve actually named the window “E” (right-click on the window, select Name window)?

Yep, that’s what I figured. Glad that worked :+1:
