Fast Duplicate Tab Closer Extension

When you open a tab with a website that has been already opened, the extension closes the new tab and focus on the old tab.

As a result:

* you don't waste time waiting for loading already opened website
* you do not have similar opened tabs - it makes easier to navigate over tabs and laptop does not spend memory on keeping duplicated tabs!

sense (ID: 000000b0500865df) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/18/2021 Работает, как нужно. Если на вкладку нажать ПКН и выбрать Duplicate, то создается именно копия этой вкладки. Не ожидал, что и это будет продумано.
