Extension summary

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.

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.
