Hi,

this behavior is "as expected", but I agree, it's not optimal.

The problem it addresses is that some sites prepend the website name to the title (or postpend)
In your case, for instance, the <title> tag for the jamaican stock exchange is:

<title>TransJamaican Highway Limited (TJH)- Trade Disclosure - Jamaica Stock Exchange</title>
  you can see the Site name at the end, delimited with -

Having said this, I agree that this can be improved and I will have a look at some possible options

One would be to priorize the og:title tag, that shuld be, in my oppinion more accurate.

But I will need to test on a set of websites to see if this does not break some other behavior.

i will keep you posted
