Good catch. That’s not a bug in the browser though, any app that sets
the window title to a long string will exhibit the problem. I’d say
it’s a bug in unity8, that should ellipsize the window title so that
it doesn’t overlay on top of the indicators.

Can you please file a bug at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+filebug ?
