How to prevent blob + guid in browser title

Basically, what I am doing is generating a PDF file on the server and showing it in the browser via javascript like this:

  file = new window.Blob([data], { type: 'application/pdf' });

  var fileUrl = URL.createObjectURL(file);

  var wnd = window.open(fileUrl, _blank, location=no, fullscreen=yes, scrollbars=auto, width= + screen.width + ,height= + screen.height);

All this works fine but every browser is showing an ugly subtitle (something like this): blob:2da57927-311e-4b3d-a261-d2679074802c

Is there any way to get rid of this subtitle or to replace it with something meaningful?

Here is a screen capture of the improved code (after applying VisioN's suggestion):

As I mentioned in the comments, one possible way is to make an <iframe> in the popup window, that displays the current Blob data, and to style the popup as you wish:

var win = open('', 'name', 'height=300, width=300'),

    iframe = document.createElement('iframe'),

    title = document.createElement('title'),

    file = new Blob([data], { type: 'application/pdf' }),

    fileUrl = URL.createObjectURL(file);



title.appendChild(document.createTextNode('Nice title :)'));



iframe.src = fileUrl;

iframe.width = '100%';

iframe.height = '100%';

iframe.style.border = 'none';



win.document.head.appendChild(title);

win.document.body.appendChild(iframe);

win.document.body.style.margin = 0;
