Your screencast doesn't ever show the new tab page so I think you're misunderstanding the bug. It's about the titles and thumbnails shown *on the new tab page*, not in the browser tabs themselves.

However, I've managed to reproduce the opposite problem (incorrect thumbnail). Here's what I did:

1. Made a new test profile. The new tab page is blank except for the chrome web store link.
2. Typed in archive.org to the address bar and went there.
3. Searched for bbc.co.uk in the wayback machine. Clicked around a bit.
4. Opened a new tab, started typing web.archive... and selected "https://web.archive.org/web/*/bbc.co.uk" from the dropdown of my history.
5. Typed in web.archive.org in the address bar and went there.
6. Opened the new tab page.

I see thumbnails as in the attached image. However the 3rd tab is messed up. It's showing the thumbnail of "archive.org" but the URL is "https://web.archive.org/web/*/bbc.co.uk". (My mouse is over the third thumbnail.) The title happens to be the same so I'm not sure if it's technically showing the wrong title or not.

ramyan@ - will you please take a look?

Hi scott.vivian@. Thanks for providing those steps in comment #3. I'm afraid I wasn't able to repro the issue - perhaps there are some differences while we click around? When I tried on a new profile, the links & titles I got matched those in open tabs.

There are a couple of noteworthy changes to the NTP UI & functionality that you may be interested in:
1. With the latest release of Chrome (M69), we are migrating away from thumbnails, and replacing them with site icons. This allows us to fit more links on the page and obviates issues with out of date thumbnails.
2. Link titles can be easily edited, so the text can be modified to something more meaningful (and useful) to you. You can also add shortcuts directly, without having to wait for most visited items to show up eventually.

Since thumbnails are going away, that issue is something were unlikely to pursue at the moment. If the link + site title mismatch can be repro'd, it's something we can look into.

Closing this because:
- thumbnails are deprecated as of M69
- the link + site title mismatch cannot be repro'd
