This title is terrible, it's meaningless to 99.9% of users. It doesn't even mention Chrome!? How is anyone supposed to know what this post is about?

  Don't worry, if the issue is as described it's going to spawn a lot of headlines of Hacker News, not just this one. Though in changing the title to something that could only be described as strategically dull, at least we now know where the loyalty of HN moderators lie.

    > we now know where the loyalty of HN moderators lie Loyal to consistently implementing the rule of "HN submission title should match the original page title"?

      That's not a viable explanation, as "A response to feedback on the proposed changes in Manifest V3" is not the page title. At best it's a modified version of the first sentence. Furthermore it's a rule which is rarely followed. Look at most of the title edits: more edits are deviating the submission titles away from the original page title. https://hackernewstitles.netlify.com/ https://hackernewstitles.netlify.com/ Of course it's a moot point now. This article's new title has caused it to drop off the home page and it's now effectively dead.
