How do you change the tooltip text of an HTML title element?

Question

If I mouse over the tab of a page in a web browser, a tooltip appears showing that page's full title. I would like to change that tooltip; e.g.

<title title="Some other text">Name of the page</title>

Is this even possible?

No, not possible.

You can't change the tooltip of the page tab to be different than the content of the <title> element.

That's not what I asked. I know how to change the title, it's the tooltip that goes with it I want to change.

Brother i did a lot research but unfortunately i found out there is no solution for updating title of title tag.
