When you open a tab with a website that has been already opened, the extension closes the new tab and focus on the old tab.

As a result:

  • you don't waste time waiting for loading already opened website
  • you do not have similar opened tabs - it makes easier to navigate over tabs and laptop does not spend memory on keeping duplicated tabs!
