Taking yet another page from Apple's Safari...
When there are multiple tabs in Safari which are pages from the same website,
Safari will shorten the tab titles to make them more signficant by removing
redundant portions,

e.g. Yahoo! News' titles are "Yahoo! News - blah blah blah", but if there are
multiple tabs showing Yahoo! News pages, then the tab titles will just show
"blah blah blah", i.e. leaving out the "Yahoo! News - " part.

This makes better use of the limited space in tabs to display a more significant
title for the user.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Yahoo! News.
2. Open a lot of news stories in tabs.
3.

Actual Results:  
The tab titles retain the <title> of their containing web pages.

Expected Results:  
Shorten the titles by leaving out redundant portions, e.g. "Yahoo! News - ".
