When you have many articles in a category (like a News section) and a category blog/list menu item is pointing to that category, the articles within it use the article title as the browser page title when viewing. Sometimes articles can have the same title and Google flags those articles as duplicate content even when they are not (reducing page/domain authority).
Google recommends your browser page titles (the value of <title>Lorem ipsum</title>
) be unique.
Browser page titles can't be customized until you create a menu item for that article, or you change the article title. The preferred solution is to add the same field for custom browser page titles as currently exists for Menu Items to the Article Options tab.

Why not do an override to include the category name in the title
