What is Close Duplicate Tab?

Close Duplicate Tab is a Chrome extension designed to help manage tabs. With this tool, you can streamline your browsing by closing duplicate tabs. Easy to use, this efficient extension distinguishes tabs with identical URLs and closes the duplicates while retaining one. It also includes features that allow it to recognize and spare pinned tabs from closure. The capacity to sort pages by URL and to indicate the number of open and duplicate tabs provides an added layer of utility and control. Future updates promise further enhancements such as the ability to group top domains in a single window.

Ever run into situations where you have lots of tabs open and you realize you have some of them open multiple times? If then you felt the need to close duplicate instances of that tab, help is at hand!

Close Duplicate Tab does exactly what its name says - it identifies URLs which are open in multiple tabs, and closes all instances retaining one. It also is smart enough to detect if you are on one of those duplicate tabs, and closes the other ones so you can continue doing what you are.

Coming soon: keyboard shortcut, auto close, limit to current window, group top domains in single window etc. Suggest more features!

Extensão extremamente eficiente: fecha abas duplicadas. Simples assim! Estou recebendo ameaças de que a extensão, diga-se de passagem extremamente útil e funcional, vai ser removida do Chrome/WebStore e manda que eu procure alternativas. Por quê? excluir o que funciona? Das alternativas recomendadas, ou: - simplesmente não têm a mesma funcionalidade e fazem qualquer coisa, menos fechar abas duplicadas. - não têm a mesma eficiência dessa, que só procura urls repetidas e fecha-as, mantendo só uma aberta. A caça às bruxas começou, mas estão caçando as bruxas erradas.
