What is the max length for title?

“Optimal title length If you keep your titles under 60 characters, our research suggests that you can expect about 90% of your titles to display properly. There's no exact character limit, because characters can vary in width and Google's display titles max out (currently) at 600 pixels.”

I just tried this out for Chrome, Safari, and Firefox with HTML5:

Chrome limits to 1024.

Safari had no limit (I tried up to 3250)

Firefox also had no limit up to 3250. As @jukka mentioned, though, Firefox does not automatically insert linebreaks.
