User reviews
Fast Duplicate Tab Closer is praised for efficiently managing duplicate tabs by closing newly opened duplicates and focusing on existing ones, preventing data loss and tab clutter. Users appreciate its silent and quick operation, along with developer responsiveness. However, it lacks some advanced features like whitelisting, history-aware duplication, and cross-window duplicate management. Several users report bugs with hotkey operations and focus behavior that affect usability. Overall, it is a highly recommended, lightweight solution with room for feature enhancements and bug fixes.
Pros
- Effectively closes duplicate tabs by closing the new tab and focusing on the already open tab, preventing data loss.
- Quiet and fast operation without unnecessary notifications or disturbances.
- Supports duplication via right-click menu and works consistently as expected in managing duplicate tabs.
- Highly recommended by multiple users for its simplicity and efficacy.
- Developer is responsive and open to feature suggestions, as noted by user feedback.
Cons
- Does not work across different Chrome windows, only within the same window.
- Sometimes automatically closes tabs duplicated via right-click context menu even when users prefer to keep them.
- Lacks certain features such as whitelisting sites, tab history consideration, and handling URL hashes/navigation within tabs.
- Bug where reopening closed tabs (Ctrl+Shift+T) causes immediate tab close, making that function unusable for some.
- Takes focus away when closing duplicates in background; users want options to avoid focus stealing or rearrange tabs.
