Applescript to get frontmost tab’s url and title of various browsers.

get_title_and_url.applescript

# Keep in mind that when asking for a `return` after another, only the first one will be output.
# This example is meant as a simple starting point, to show how to get the information in the simplest available way.

# Google Chrome
tell application "Google Chrome" to return URL of active tab of front window
tell application "Google Chrome" to return title of active tab of front window
# Google Chrome Canary
tell application "Google Chrome Canary" to return URL of active tab of front window
tell application "Google Chrome Canary" to return title of active tab of front window
# Chromium
tell application "Chromium" to return URL of active tab of front window
tell application "Chromium" to return title of active tab of front window
# Safari
tell application "Safari" to return URL of front document
tell application "Safari" to return name of front document
# Webkit
tell application "Webkit" to return URL of front document
tell application "Webkit" to return name of front document

get_title_and_url_from_front_browser.applescript

# This example will return both the URL and title for the frontmost tab of the active browser, separated by a newline.
# Keep in mind that by using `using terms from`, we’re basically requiring that referenced browser to be available on the system
# (i.e., to use this on "Google Chrome Canary" or "Chromium", "Google Chrome" needs to be installed).
# This is required to be able to use a variable in `tell application`. If it is undesirable, the accompanying example should be used instead.
