Extension summary

Duplicate your current tab via button or command (I personally use CTRL+T to replace Chrome's built-in new tab behavior).

This extension does more than others in the Chrome Extension Store in that your entire tab's navigation history and browsing context is also duplicated. Great way to fork your current browsing session! Make like Dolly and start cloning!

I love this extension, exactly what I was looking for! A simple extension to add a keyboard shortcut for the "Tab > Duplicate Tab". I use it many times every day. I audited the source code to confirm my data wasn't being sent anywhere -- 11 simple lines of code doing what the extension says. ✅ Thank you Jordan Bowness! 🙌 ❤️

After you install, assign a keyboard shortcut! I use Cmd + D :)

One complaint: the "Dolly the sheep" icon in the toolbar looks like a faint piece of fuzz. A more iconic and high-contrast icon would be helpful.
