Close Duplicate Tab
Description from store

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!

v2.5
* NEW: Top domains listed on hovering over the extension icon.

v2.4
* Pinned tabs will no longer be closed if they are duplicates.

v2.3
* Now see titles for duplicate tabs, not long URLs
* Special case handling for websites that "replace" tabs behind the scenes. Short version: more accurate duplicate tracking.

v2.2
* Bug fix to handle browser restarts

v2.0 ## MAJOR Upgrade!!!
* Options page, with list of upcoming capabilties
* NEW: Reorder (sort) pages by URL

v1.8:
* Lists open tab count, and duplicate tab count
* List duplicate URLs, and their counts
* Groundwork for options (coming soon!)

v1.6:
* Now identifies & closes duplicates across windows
* More accessible colors for duplicate count badge

please make auto close duplicate. thank you

The developer promises a lot but no updates. Unfortunately not compatible with grouped tabs. When sorting tabs are kicked out of the groups.

Light, practical, almost perfect. The only suggestion I make is to implement the functionality to manually close duplicate tabs, by displaying a list, simmilar to "Duplicate tabs closer" and "Clutter free".

Worked well until I tried to experiment with "Re-organize (sort) tabs by URL" - then it completely blew up my tab groups :( It should respect tab groups and not break them up while sorting

Awesome extention! It would be great if it had also a key binding to run it.

I like the simplicity of this. I have made a key binding in chrome settings to activate the extension with ctrl-alt-x. I just wish there was an option for it to only work with the current window instead of globally.

A handy tool - wish it could allow for the selection of DOMAINS rather than exact url strings. Otherwise works great.

Hi Really love your extension However I do found that the duplication may not work well for "group-tab" Looking forward for more features/control Thanks Yeh

I just thought of this idea and wanted to develop this extension as coding practice, but checked and saw you already beat me to it. It's works exactly how I envisioned it, thanks.

Closes the duplicate tabs, does the job well. As well reading through the reviews here, developer is very involved with her/his work.

The only problem is the badge is broken because it uses the function "chrome.runtime.onInstalled.addListener" which means it will only work properly after the first install or after an update. It will stop working once you close the browser and open it back up again. For that you need "chrome.runtime.onStartup.addListener".

After the recent update it now closes duplicates across all chrome windows instead of closing duplicates in the current one only. This is so frustrating for me :( Could you, please, add an option to control this behavior? Global/current window

Good little utility. One click and done when the icon lights up green. That's nice as it's not too in your face.

Eddig jó volt de most pl a chromium alapú awast security browser-ben nem működik...

In the latest google chrome (v 69.xxx) with material theme, the icon looks bland with no coloring at all; just plain gray. There is no indication of duplicate tabs whatsoever. Please test and adjust. Thanks.

Rather large in file size to do such simple functions it does which makes me not trust the app. Disabled for now.
