Extension summary

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.
