Latest reviews

  • (2023-10-23) esgalmir: generally it works, but desperately needs an update. some settings broken... sometimes closes wrong duplicate (newest, not oldest, despite of settings) or opens wrong tab. sometimes not detecting any duplicates. sometimes closes a tab that is NOT A DUPLICATE altogether (i.e. does not allowing to open some specific URLs).
  • (2023-09-13) tek marvel: works great when it work. often does not notice there are duplicate tabs, requiring chrome to be restarted for duplicate tabs closer to start working again.
  • (2023-08-06) josh wanner: Need better instructions. I'm having difficulty whitelisting google and images, not sure what to do to whitelist it, not working. 5 stars for better instructions. Docked a star for unclear instructions.
  • (2023-07-08) COW KING (THE COW KING): fairly good. one annoying bug, it will jump to one of the duplicated tabs instead of staying on the starting tab, making it unusable
  • (2023-06-03) Samuele gg: Una delle migliori che abbia provato per eliminare le schede duplicate, presente anche il contatore sull'icona che è ben visibile sulla barra. One of the best I've tried to eliminate duplicate tabs, also has the counter on the icon which is clearly visible on the bar.
  • (2023-03-21) Gabriela: Thanks for making this! It's been my go-to extension for finding duplicate tabs. I've noticed however it's not handing well one of the following (still trying to figure out which): a bigger amount of tabs, tabs that go into sleep mode, or tab grouping.
  • (2023-02-23) Peter Froud: Thanks for making this extension :)
  • (2023-02-19) Allan Laal: the best duplicate tabs closer in both chrome and firefox!
  • (2023-02-07) やまよし: It's a great app and it stands out among the current applications with similar functionality. However, I have one technical request. You are currently implementing a whitelist, but is it difficult to implement a blacklist? In fact, there are more sites that don't want you to do anything, so it's a bit troublesome to register them in the whitelist each time.
  • (2023-01-27) Dr.Ne0Gen3tic (Forensic Buro of Quantum): the best I could find! But how do I come to the conclusion? Now there are the "matching rules," which allow different "cases" of matches. With some pages, you want to ignore the exact "title" or the "search part" in a URL. Or have only the titles been compared? This is easily possible here, and there is absolutely no problem! In addition, "HTTPS" can be compared, and they close the tabs only when prompted, so I have full control at all times! So this extension is EXACTLY the extension that I was looking for! In my opinion, this is the best extension of this kind that I have found "so far"!
  • (2023-01-16) William Ribeiro: Better than any other I've found and used.
  • (2022-09-11) Ed: For some reason, this is better & has more options than the first result on Google :|
  • (2022-08-16) Peter Kionga-Kamau: OMG it is SO SLOW. I've been sitting here for two minutes waiting for this thing to close 18 tabs. What the **** is taking it so long?!
  • (2022-08-15) Mr. Spectacals: Already loving it. I surf a lot so this will be helpful in removing duplicate tabs.
  • (2022-07-23) Daisuke: Good. But it would be even better if the whitelist worked for cases other than the decision to automatically close tabs. (ex.) "Duplicated tabs" list, "Close all" button behavior.
  • (2022-05-18) Victor Januario: Great extension. Thanks. A suggestion for those that prefer to Blacklist URLs, enter this in the Whitelisted URLs box: For one site: ^(?!.*example.com).*$ For two sites: ^(?!.*(first.example.com|second.example.com)).*$ For three sites: ^(?!.*(first.example.com|second.example.com|third.example.com)).*$ ... and so on.
  • (2022-04-25) Laurence Gough: Perfect thank you!
  • (2022-04-18) The Great Scott: Been using on Chrome for a while, finally had it with excessive dumb nanny resrouce hungry thing and moved fully to Opera GX Installed hassle free, manually set the intuitive and easily interpretted options, badaboom. Works seemlessly as expected, namely if "power browsing", any replicant tabs simply never appear. You can fine tune the entire thing to, for example if you are opening POSITIONS (#ref) on a large document page, to KEEP them, while still blocking exact same requests (default would be to not). Great stuff, an essential and suprisingly not standard tool. -Nice one Dev Fairy-
  • (2022-03-02) benjamin957957: Very good. Does what it says it'll do very well.
  • (2021-11-25) didier Namur: Ca ne marche pas du tout : j'ai des onglets en double mais l'application ne les voit pas.
  • (2021-07-16) Ifer30: Having a problem where even if a site is whitelisted it still treats the tabs as duplicates, even when they have different urls.
  • (2021-07-01) Jesse Kropf: Awesome extension, works great. Some of the concerns in other reviews have been addressed and features have been added. Just check out all the settings. Very happy with this extension, it's exactly what I needed!
  • (2021-04-27) Виктор Моисеев: Наконец-то я нашел тебя!!!! Как давно я хотел этот функционал
  • (2021-04-19) Frederik baht-hagen: Works very well and I especially like it doesn't force auto closing duplicates. Something I'd really like to be included in future updates though, is whitelisting urls so that they don't get matched. e.g. I use a newtabs as dividers and would like them to not be included when closing duplicates and not trigger the badge. I think this is currently an option if auto closing of tabs is enabled, but it should be an option with no automatic action enabled
  • (2021-04-06) Anish Hui: This is awesome!
  • (2021-03-02) Nils Loodin: I like this a lot, but I can't seem to be able to whitelist new and empty tabs. I run virtual desktops, and if I have an old empty tab in another desktop, and open a new tab in my browser, it maddenly switches desktops on me. I tried whitelisting "about:blank", but that doesn't seem to work.
  • (2021-01-29) Sami Kakko: Sadly hasn't worked correctly for quite a while, seems like when a huge amount of tabs are open chrome removes some from memory and sadly this extension doesn't see them.
  • (2021-01-26) Dmitry OD: This app is doing more harm than good. Because when you open a copy of a tab, it is removed from the group. And you need to drag it to the group every time over and over and over again.
  • (2020-12-15) Arkasha Rotenberg: amazig! fast! free!
  • (2020-12-05) Lydia White: This no longer seems to be working
  • (2020-10-23) Jiramate Petcharat: Awesome extension.
  • (2020-09-20) Alexandre Ferreira: Funcionou bem no meu teste hoje 20/09/2020
  • (2020-08-24) blessing saw: This is a great extension and it will be awesome if you could include additional feature that will jump to active duplicate page when users try to open same address.
  • (2020-07-04) Benedict Simmons: This worked great for a while, but in the last few months it has stopped functioning. On my computer (decade-old desktop running Chrome Stable on Manjaro Linux) the extension has started showing a red badge when there are no duplicate tabs as well as not telling me when there are duplicates. It sometimes works and I don't know what causes it to stop working.
  • (2020-03-05) Lukas Folmert: That's exactly what I was looking for! Frankly dozens of other more popular addons were not working as expected.
  • (2020-02-01) Lee Hwayoung: great app. btw, couldn't find whitelist.
  • (2019-12-18) Jeff Tsai: nice and neat, I like it
  • (2019-10-29) Sun Eric: The "Filters" feature is great. The "Ignore Path" is especially useful when opening multiple pages in the same site. But there is one problem, seems file URL (html in my local computer) don't support the filter. Can this support be added?
  • (2019-09-18) Shawn: Does what i expect
  • (2019-06-22) Tomáš Madaj: The only one with the option to ignore query part! BUT, no possibility to whitelist domains :/
  • (2019-06-21) Erik Schick: It does exactly what I want with minimal setup. Perfect.
  • (2019-05-04) Muhammad Hariansyah: easy
  • (2019-03-31) Excellent extension, considers all possibilities of users needs.
  • (2019-02-24) Works but no context menu option, hence why not 5 stars.
  • (2018-12-10) Or Schiro: Eine tolle Erweiterung. Habe sie mal bei mir im Blog genauer beleuchtet: http://orschi.ro/tab-duplikate-schnell-aufspueren/
  • (2018-10-01) Mike Bilel: awesome
  • (2018-09-29) אמיר גלנטי: Please make it operate with one click. We can get to options by clicking the right click
  • (2018-09-15) Haruo Shimote: We have to set up option (e.g. close tab automatically) every time when open browser. Could you please save the option setting in next update? We would appreciate it If you could improve it.
  • (2018-08-13) Jay Goldberg: Super useful popdown UI that's responsive and lets you see the results of different kinds of filtering.
  • (2018-06-25) Michael Ryan: I think this extension has great potential, but there are some usability issues that need to be resolved. The icon should support a single-click action to clear tabs with the existing filter. Allow the user to right-click to access filter setting, but a left-click should just clear the tabs immediately.

Latest issues

  • (2023-08-19, v:3.5.3) Pyroman71: bug report
    new tab duplicate whitelist doesnt work on chrome, it proceeds to close duplicate new tabs under the url chrome://newtab, *newtab, *newtab*
  • (2023-07-29, v:3.5.3) Patrik Johansson (ExileFox): "GX corner" tabs on Opera GX should be ignored.
    Wrongfully lists "GX corner" as duplicates but they're integral to Opera GX. It's a small issue, but it would be nice to get fixed because each Opera GX window will have that tab. 2So if you have 3 windows open, these will be listed as duplicates (which they are, but these tabs cannot be closed hence they should be ignored)
  • (2022-11-09, v:3.5.3) Rainbow Warrior Princess: BUG
    Doesn't always detect all duplicates.
  • (2022-09-23, v:3.5.3) Joe Foe: Allow exceptions
    I and others use various "new tabs" - which want to remain open on various browser windows. It is annoying to have to dodge these on Duplicate Tabs and the program would be much improved if adding exceptions were allowed.
  • (2021-02-26, v:3.5.3) Gustavo Rivera: Prevent Duplicate Tabs + Suspended Tabs
    Hello, Our teams work with a massive number of active google docs at same time. 1. Your duplicate tab prevention tool helps tremendously ! 2. So does other tools that suspend tabs after short period of inactivity. However they don’t work well together. Your duplicate tab tool does not detect duplicates between an active and suspended tab. The url of the active tab is usually encoded in the url of the suspended tab. And it would be life saving for our teams if your awesome tool was able to detect a tab in either state, e.g. try to open a link to a doc (that’s already open but suspended) and it automatically closes that tab and brings you to the suspended tab. Heaven. For example an active URL: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13LRvnsuioHJWJWZe_vaUpTP_qWiZwOMcylT42dWOhUs/edit#slide=id.gc07ac39e38_0_0 - Here is an example of this suspended tab URL with The Great Suspender (fixed secure version): chrome-extension://jaekigmcljkkalnicnjoafgfjoefkpeg/suspended.html#ttl=Test%20Document%20-%20Google%20Slides&pos=0&uri=https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13LRvnsuioHJWJWZe_vaUpTP_qWiZwOMcylT42dWOhUs/edit#slide=id.gc07ac39e38_0_0 - Here is an example of this suspended tab URL with Tab Suspender: chrome-extension://fiabciakcmgepblmdkmemdbbkilneeeh/park.html?title=Navy%20Demo%20-%20Google%20Slides&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fpresentation%2Fd%2F1F7Fv5lvM2m6qBhdG54PNuoG_FGpUKG2Ru0blIeEqNhs%2Fedit%23slide%3Did.gbc8fa3cf70_0_58&tabId=270&sessionId=1614341767334&icon=data%3Aimage%2Fpng%3Bbase64%2CiVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAEAAAABACAYAAACqaXHeAAABhElEQVR4Xu2bMUrEUBCGvzGNkmIFr6BH8AyyamHrGTyB9l7BG1jbGC1Wsd8bKHiCbVZJBMF1JEJkUZPlpUpe%2FlSBzAuZeXn%2F%2FyW8MZYOf2DzreAE48hhB2e0fL3H53ODJzeuUuPC9nmtcrHqJL9ljwWXwFaPE1396MYsWeN4Y8x9GfxdgDJ5W5A5JKvv0P8IMz4SZ7x%2ByJ35hFHxznP0M%2F973oxZamxbccOZf3Le%2F3ltkYFxakXG1J3dFsN7P8RgannGPCK1D5sU48XyazxsVFzRKoDeAC0BaYBEMC5dD8tGLiAXkAvIBWpdID2IwyCK7Oe%2Fzx%2BFbBRBFUBvgJZAGFV0NFoaIBGUC9QuTtlg07eAOEAcIA7oqLOHPZY4QBwgDhAH1FVAICQQavgpKhIUCYoEw5Cro9EiQZGgSFAkKBKsqYD2B2h%2FgPYHaH9AHLzbkkIlghJBiaBEUCLYUkCjGKaWmcE3TQ2%2BbW7wjZODb52tpHzQzdNVEaJtny8bJJ3H%2F9rnvwBaRzfMJff0pgAAAABJRU5ErkJggg%3D%3D Please consider this enhancement for me, my teams and everyone else trying to get the most out of their heavily used Chrome browsers. Thanks!
  • (2020-12-15, v:3.5.3) n w: Pop-up UI doesn't update after closing a duplicate.
    When there is more than one duplicate, the pop up UI doesn't update each time you click an X to exit. In order to update the list in the pop up UI, you must click away from it, then re-open it after closing a duplicate tab.
  • (2020-08-24, v:3.5.3) blessing saw: Great extension , will be better with some improvement
    Thanks for this great extension and would you be able to add additional feature that will show or jump to the active duplicate page when user browse for additional page?
  • (2020-07-06, v:3.5.3) Sebastian Wientzek: Whitelist the "New Tab" ("Neuer Tab" in german)
    Is it possible to whitelist the "New Tab"? Sometimes I use multiple of these tabs and everytime it is already open then the new one gets closed and my last tab is getting opened. I already tried: New Tab, Neuer Tab, chrome://newtab and chrome-search://local-ntp/local-ntp.html Are there any other things I can try? Thank you very much! Best regards Sebastian Wientzek
  • (2020-06-26, v:3.5.3) Glen McFarland: Blacklist option to close only certain sites
    Is there a way to add a Blacklist option to close certain web sites?
  • (2020-06-20, v:3.5.3) Gustavo Rivera: In latest chrome, in Google Docs, I have set to ignore both hash # and search ? parts of URL, but this doesn't work with URLs that have both a hash and search, common in Google Docs
    Need ability to ignore both hash # and search ? parts of URL for Google Docs
  • (2020-04-12, v:3.3.2) Igor Š: Not detecting duplicate sites if one opened by clicking on a -app shortcut
    Not detecting duplicate sites if one opened by clicking on a -app shortcut on desktop is ("Open as a window option") and another window with same site is opened through a regular link. Any help ?
  • (2020-01-27, v:3.3.2) Glen McFarland: whitelist
    Is it possible to add a whitelist of site to exclude from closing?
  • (2019-09-12, v:3.3.2) Simon Lennon: Blacklist
    Hi is there any way you add a blacklist (websites to be included, instead of excluded) to this extension. I really like the extension but have over 100 hundred whitelist rules now and its getting quite tedious having to keep adding them. I really only want to use this extension for a handful of sites so it would be great if I could just like the sites I wanted to use the extension with instead of having to exclude hundreds of websites, many thanks, Simon
  • (2019-09-12, v:3.3.2) Ray Waymore: Clicking in "Duplicate tabs" section doesn't really work?
    Is there some reason why left-clicking on the Duplicate tabs pane (after clicking the extension's button on the right corner) doesn't really seem to do anything? In other words, when clicking a duplicated tab title, it doesn't do anything. Why? It should of course focus on the particular tab then. And when clicking the X next to it, again it seemingly doesn't do anything. Except, it does, but it's just not updated on that view (the list doesn't change). Then again, going to the settings page of the extension (clicking the cog), now the list does work better. Clicking a title focuses on the tab. Though the X again doesn't remove the title from the list. Why not? Thank you very much.
  • (2019-09-09, v:3.3.2) Сергей Линник: Problem in Vivaldi
    duplicate tab successfully closed, but older tab remains not activated.
  • (2019-08-24, v:3.3.2) Royi Namir: Clicking on the icon
    Great extension however , it's really annoying to click it , and go to the bottom button. I've read what you've writtne to others about options accessebility. However , I disagree. You still have the right click to access options. you should use the left click to quick close tabs. The whole purpose is the save people time to close tabs manually. so if this extensions come to help , it should close tab with one click.
  • (2019-01-31, v:3.1.9) Zee M Kane: Request for exceptions
    Love the extension! Thank you. One request, to be able to add exceptions please? i.e. for some domains to be allowed to have duplicates. Thanks
  • (2018-06-15, v:3.1.5) Rafael Miranda: Settings are not Saved
    I do not know why this is happening, but the factory settings are always reset. I put it to "Automatically close tabs" but always returns to "Do nothing"
  • (2018-06-06, v:3.1.5) YvesFox: settings preferences aren't saved
    hi, I have to update my settings preference every time I launch chrome. They are only saved until I quit chrome. can you fix it plz?
  • (2018-05-30, v:3.1.5) XEO XTH: More options please
    Please add the option to close the tabs only by clicking on the icon. Thank you, great extension.
  • (2018-04-12, v:3.1.5) Karim: Auto enable
    Settings not save and no way to auto enable the extension so not really useful at this stage. Thanks
  • (2018-04-06, v:3.1.5) Александр Сироткин: Settings
    Settings are not saved. After starting the default setting.
