My browser neither has a blue bar anywhere or says anything about Demon.
Everyone will have entirely different set ups, don't assume everything
'web' is as *you* 'see' it.

I think what you're grasping for is the TITLE attribute which appears in
the <HEAD> section of your web page and in many cases will add whatever
wording you type in in the title bar of the browser.  This is also the
text, probably more importantly, that will appear in your search engine
listings - the description, also added to the HEAD will then appear
underneath this in search engine listings.  The title will often also
print out at the top of any web pages printed, although I'm not sure how
it will encourage repeat visits.
