I tend to agree (particularly for apps that have been added to the home screen). Apps that want to display their own name (e.g., Google’s Authenticator app on iOS does this) can do that with HTML. Having said that, there are other contexts where showing the title makes sense (in a task switcher - or when organizing tabs). But that’s generally handled by the OS. > It is very uncommon to be able to read more than a couple of > words and depending on your browser/system you might not even see the > page title at all (the case for me because I rarely have less than a > dozen tabs open).
