I have been using this snippet from ergoemacs,org and it has been working
great for me:
;; Auto-rename new eww buffers
;; http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_eww_web_browser.html
(defun xah-rename-eww-hook ()
"Rename eww browser's buffer so sites open in new page."
(rename-buffer "eww" t))
(add-hook 'eww-mode-hook #'xah-rename-eww-hook)
