“Display new / update topic count in title” is not quite right. It’s actually

> Display new / updated topic count in topic lists, and unseen reply count in topics

But that’s turning into a bit of an essay. I’m struggling to come up with a more concise version… Maybe

> - Display unread notification count in title
> 
> - Display contextual counter in title

🤔

Also, which option would you like as the default? (Given that most people will never bother to change this).

The current default is fine. Opening fifty bazillion tabs isn’t a common use case.

Per:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/dc703adad77caf63a5a93de55798d2c3590fd1fc](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/dc703adad77caf63a5a93de55798d2c3590fd1fc)

And

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/24ef4f7b2bbbe233999977615df85d43218080fa](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/24ef4f7b2bbbe233999977615df85d43218080fa)

We removed `disable_jump_reply` setting which was a fundamentally wrong and only partial broken solution to “allow me to jump to first unread in a topic”.

We added `default_title_count_mode` which allows admins to choose the default behavior for the count in the title (either contextual or notification count).

Users can select how the count in the title works per:

The count will be “unseen notification” by default, but they can switch it to “unseen page content” if they wish.

We decided to keep `Show new / updated topic count on browser icon` cause many sites amended the default here and the feature is widely used.

Unseen is kinda.. bad copy here. I suggest “New” as a simpler alternative.

- New notifications
- New topics / posts

I know it’s not 100% accurate but.. nobody cares about that level of accuracy, and “unseen” is going to cause misunderstandings.
