About Chrome’s named windows
Since Google Chrome v88 (Jan 2021), browser windows can be given a name via the

menu item.
Each window’s name is visible in menus, the Dock and—most usefully—the
“Application Windows” switcher (accessed via ctrl + down

This is useful if you use Chrome windows to group related tabs (which is how I work). It’s best combined with the tab grouping functionality which lets you assign a visible name to the window too:
Rather than click through the menus, it’s possible to assign a more convenient keyboard shortcut for naming a window using MacOS’s “App Shortcuts” functionality:
Note, you don’t see the window names in the Navigator view (ctrl + up
), only
the Application Windows view.
