NOTE: this is a fork of the original Duplicate Tabs Closer with one minor change: the addition of the Alt+Shift+D shortcut (see the bottom of the description).

★ "On duplicate tab detected" options:

  • Close tab automatically: automatically closes the detected duplicate tab.
  • Do nothing: monitor tabs and update the badge icon to indicate the number of duplicate tabs detected.

★ On remaining tab options (used with "Close tab automatically):

  • Do nothing (default): nothing is done after the duplicate tab is closed.
  • Activate: once the duplicate tab is closed, the remaining tab is activated.
  • Apply opening tab behavior: once the duplicate tab is closed, depending on the default tab behavior, the remaining tab will be moved to the position of the closed tab and activated if needed.

★ Whitelist (used with "Close tab automatically): List of urls to not close automatically. Duplicate tabs detected will be notified in badge. Wildcards is supported.
