Only duplicates the URL; does not duplicate the DOM state.

Click the icon and the tab is duplicated. Works fine for me in my numerous browsers ( 30 DEC 2023 ). One "ISSUE" though; the icon is to dark to see on toolbars that have a dark background (i.e. in "Dark Mode."). Make a brighter icon, or allow us to choice between a light or dark icon.
