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 really appreciated this feature in IE and missed it in Chrome. This extension does the trick and seems pretty lightweight and reliable!
