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.

Summary

Analyze keywords

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!
