Summary

Analyze keywords

Tab Deduper is an extension to find and remove duplicate Chrome tabs.

Unlike other currently available extensions which dedup tabs, Tab Deduper differentiates itself in the following ways:

Duplicate tabs are not automatically closed. A list of duplicated tabs are presented, allowing for precise control over which tab gets closed.
Use of text OR regular expression based settings to control how tabs are compared, including use of title, fragment, and doing sed-like regex replacements on URLs. This last feature is very useful if you use other extensions which modify your tab URLs.

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.

Focus on finding, presenting and managing duplicate tabs only. Allow you to see, click to duplicate tabs (whether in the same or across windows) to confirm before acting. Exactly what one needs: simple and effective.
