Extension summary

Maximize your browsing efficiency and maintain a decluttered workspace with Reuse Tabs, the Chrome extension that ensures you never have the same website open in multiple tabs unnecessarily. By smartly refocusing on an existing tab with the URL you're about to open, Reuse Tabs helps to streamline your digital workspace, reduce redundancy, and keep your browser running smoothly.

How Reuse Tabs Works:

When you attempt to open a link, Reuse Tabs quickly checks if that URL is already open in another tab. If it is, the extension automatically brings the existing tab to the forefront, preventing you from having multiple tabs of the same page. This not only helps to reduce clutter but also conserves system resources and enhances your browser's performance.

Key Features:

  • Intelligent Tab Management: Detects and focuses on tabs with matching URLs instantly.
  • Resource Efficiency: Saves memory and processing power by reducing the number of open tabs.
  • Enhanced Productivity: Keeps your workspace organized, helping you find the right information faster.
  • Easy to Use: Works in the background with no additional inputs required from the user.

It is only work the triggered URL is same with open tab. I wish it will also do it same domain instead of same url
by Emre Oz, 2024-05-22

This is great! I use Arc Browser and was looking for a way to automatically have my favorited tabs opened instead of links opening as new tabs. One thing i'm noticing though is that if you MANUALLY want to open something in a page as a new tab, by holding CMD or in Arc, as a split view by holding OPT, sometimes this extension mistakenly closes them. If those issues could be resolved, that'd be great!
