Extension summary
** Automatically detect and close duplicate tabs
Preventing and closing duplicates tabs is the core mission. The extension runs in the background, checking when tabs are opened or links are clicked to see whether the target webpage is already open. If open, the extension switches focus to the existing tab, instead of opening a duplicate.
NEW: Quick Tab Search - search, switch to and close tabs. (Similar to ‘Go to tab’)
NEW: List all duplicate tabs, close them directly from list.
Tune the core functionality using options - add websites or domains to allow-list to allow duplicates, or use the block-list to only block duplicates on certain websites.
