  Thanks for checking Safari. Technically it should be possible to fetch the page and parse the title tag. It's hard to know when to do that if there's an editable URL field. With a browser extension and a "?add=URL" parameter (see the question from g4k) it would work better. I'm not familiar with remoteStorage.js. Dropbox I chose simply because it's popular, many people already have an account and trust them, so it's a low barrier to use something that uses Dropbox.

    remoteStorage.js is a library for implementing applications similar to yours, where the backend storage is separate from the application provider. The library primarily supports 'remoteStorage' providers but apparently now supports google drive and dropbox experimentally.[1] All the apps using remoteStorage that I've checked out don't seem to have dropbox as an option though, and only some have google drive.

    Forgot about CORS regarding those titles, so I guess a bookmarket or browser extension is required that passes the title along with the URL as a parameter. Or like with favicons, a separate service that parses titles.
