So far, seems amazing. Small footprint. Doesn't show any activity in Chrome Task Manager -- it's not even there! Show duplicates is very helpful! +1 to ignore new empty tabs. If you bloat with more features, i will uninstall!!!!! Keep small, low ram and low cpu!

would be cool to not close duplicated new blank tabs - i used it as a divider to separate between group of tabs

Maybe could be nice if the equal urls were listed, shown in other window or collapsed/fixed in a group.
