The precise logic is described in the [PR description](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/4e8c174ee524e752be45cdba15e754efeeca6023):

### Anonymous Behavior:

On topic list:

- Regardless of focus, browser title shows the count of topics waiting to be loaded (matches the “See N new or updated topic” banner)

On topic:

- IF tab is in the background, then increment the counter for each new post that arrives
- When focus is restored, reset the counter

### Logged in behavior

For logged in users:

- If tab is in the background, **and** a new notification arrives while the tab is in the background, display the total notification count in the title
- Hide the count when the tab is in the foreground

@ChrisBeach does this line up with what you’re seeing?
