No, the full webpage title is only available if you mouse over the
tab. There is not enough space on the tab to show full webpage titles
on many websites.

Ubuntu absolutely should care about apps like Firefox, Epiphany,
Chromium, LibreOffice, eog, totem, and many others which use the
window title to present important information. Sorry, but you can't
just suddenly declare window titles obsolete as a lot of apps use
them.
