It does one thing: Keep my browsers clean from duplicate tabs😁

This is amazing. It shows you all duplicate tabs, colour codes windows so after a few looks you can know what's where if your memory holds up, and lets you go directly to the tabs as well to see what they are. Sometimes entries get accidentally duplicated (not the actual tabs, but displayed twice in the extension), but nothing that isn't fixed by closing and opening the extension or just navigating to a different window. I've only got one suggestion to improve this: If possible, can you draw colours and names from tab groups? That might help more quickly identify which tab is in which window/group and close them without having to navigate between windows.
