Max Zhang (ID: 0000009f0ae3c3ce) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/03/2021 Simple, and gets the job done. Best duplicate tab remover out there in the extension store, if your goal is to prevent duplicate tabs from happening. Most of the other extensions are give you options when duplicate happens, which is unnecessary if you simply want to avoid opening duplicate tabs.
