We are getting only window title for all application, I want to capture URL instead for window title in Browser. Is it possible in this lib or please advice how can we achieve this.

I don't think that's possible without cooperation from the browser. A simple fix would be to create/find an browser extension that pushes the url to the window title.

RescueTime manages to do it without a browser plugin, any idea how they do it?

Here's an AppleScript solution

I've verified it at least works for Chrome

tell application "System Events"
    tell application "Google Chrome" to return URL of active tab of front window
end tell

Pressing Ctrl+L and Ctrl+C would actually interfere a lot with what I'm doing. And the JSON method doesn't seem to work anymore.
